A Message from the Mayor and Commission


The City of Parkland is proud to outline our 2022-2023 Strategic Plan. First, what is a
strategic plan? Our strategic plan is a long-term vision of where the City wants to be in the
future, as well as the steps we will take to get there. The strategic plan serves as the
roadmap in prioritizing objectives and initiatives, as well as a look at important metrics and
key performance indicators to ensure we are on the path to success.
The elements of our strategic plan originate from you, our residents. We listen carefully to
your input and feedback, and develop action items designed to support the vision, mission,
and values of our City. This strategic plan has been created with the purpose of not only
sustaining the City as we have come to know it, but improving and solidifying it as we move
forward.
Parkland is a unique community – not just unique in Broward County, but throughout south
Florida. As such, the approach to strategic planning for us is to continue to build on our
strengths of caring for our community, solidifying the infrastructure and amenities provided to
our residents, and being prepared for future opportunities.
In the future, a public dashboard will be provided on the City’s website using the City’s
strategic planning platform, Envisio. This will enable the public to see updates on our
strategic planning action items just as we receive status updates from staff.
This strategic plan belongs to all of us – the Mayor and Commission, the City staff, and all of
you as Parkland residents. We are committed to ensuring that Parkland will always be a City
of high character that continues to enhance quality of life for all.
