Municipalities in middle Tennessee over the past decade have experienced significant and unprecedented growth and development. Strategic planning is recognized by municipalities as an important long-term planning tool to provide direction and prioritization of goals, objectives, projects, and programs to improve the delivery of public investments and services to meet the growing needs of the community.
MTAS has facilitated the preparation and adoption of strategic plans for several years for Mount Pleasant including most recently in 2017 and 2021 (2021 plan attached as reference). The City is committed to performing a periodic update of the strategic plan every 3-4 years in order to ensure the plan reflects the desired direction and priorities of the City as well as any changing conditions that need to be addressed as part of the strategic planning process.
