Frontenac County-wide Strategic Plan consultation

The County of Frontenac is excited to announce the development of its Strategic Plan. The County Strategic Plan will guide the growth and development of Frontenac County over the next several years. The plan will be developed based on community input and feedback, making it a truly collaborative effort.

Project goals and objectives:

A County Strategic Plan defines strategic objectives with achievable outcomes that are distinct from the standard operating initiatives the County undertakes year after year. Strategic planning is a process by which the County determines where it wants to go and charts a path to get there. Strategic plans also help define important goals, set specific directions, and clarify policy and budget priorities.

How is a County Strategic Plan used?

This Strategic Plan will enable County Administration and Council, member municipalities, the local business community and community stakeholders to work together to champion a sustainable growth agenda for the County.

For the public, the County Strategic Plan communicates a four-year vision for the County and the related priorities for this term of Council; it reflects the County's aspirations and input for the services they receive; and it formalizes County Council's commitment to customer service and satisfaction for all residents of the County.

For businesses and community organizations, the Count Strategic Plan reflects the County's commitment to partnering with businesses and community organizations to achieve the County's four-year goals.

For County Council, Managers and Employees, the County Strategic Plan informs policy, operational, and budget decisions; and provides a structure to ensure oversight and management of County programs and services.

Your voice counts:

The County of Frontenac hired consulting firm Explorer Solutions to conduct the plan development and stakeholder engagement. To gather input from community members, the County invited local residents, businesses, and community organizations to participate in a public online survey. The survey gathered feedback and input on a wide range of topics including land use planning, economic development, education, health and wellness, environment, infrastructure and transportation, quality of life, and county priorities and concerns.

Public response to the survey was excellent. It closed on May 17. The results will go into the development of the draft strategic plan for presentation to Frontenac County Council in July.

Engaging Youth and Young Professionals

We value your input and encourage you to share the opportunity for feedback with your family and friends. Additionally, we created a separate survey page as part of the Public Online Survey, tailored specifically to capture the thoughts, opinions, and perspectives of our youth living in Frontenac County. By involving our youth and young professionals, we hoped to create a more inclusive and well-rounded strategic plan for the future of Frontenac County. Together, we can work towards building a brighter, more sustainable future for all residents of Frontenac County.
