The Strategic Plan offers a preview of PSL's future

In Port St. Lucie, the Strategic Plan is not just a document sitting on a shelf—it’s the driving force behind our entire City organization. It aligns our team with the goals, strategic initiatives, and projects that matter most to our residents, the Mayor, and City Council. Guided by our mission to provide exceptional services that enhance our community's safety, beauty, and quality of life through innovation, engagement, and fiscal responsibility, we use strategic planning to address resident needs and plan for our City’s future. Our vision is to be a leader in finding innovative solutions that put residents first and support opportunities for all to thrive.

We analyze resident feedback from the National Community Survey and Citizen Summit, using human-centered design to inform our Strategic Plan priorities each year. Our team identifies new or updated strategic initiatives and priority projects, which are then prioritized in the annual budget to secure funding for implementation. The Mayor and City Council continuously evaluate our progress in a cycle of continuous improvement, as detailed in the City’s Strategic Planning System Roadmap(PDF, 539KB).

Our dedication to putting residents first has earned us national recognition, including the Voice of the People Award for Transformation in Foundation (2019) and Community Engagement (2020) from the National Research Center and the International City & County Management Association.

To learn more, explore our most recent annual Strategic Plan update(PDF, 7MB), the Strategic Dashboard, and data from the latest National Community Survey and Citizen Summit. The City’s Strategic Plan, developed in 2013 through meetings and workshops led by the Office of Strategic Initiatives & Innovation in the City Manager’s Office, has been updated annually to continually improve our process and move the City forward.
