Strategic Plan

The City of Tarpon Springs teamed up with the University of South Florida Institute of Government and Saint Petersburg College Collaborative Labs to develop a strategic plan.

This strategic plan is organized around a few broad-reaching focus areas to serve as a guide city budgeting, capital project planning and program development over the next 3-5 years.

The Strategic Plan is complimentary to, and coordinated with, the City's Comprehensive Plan, which has a much longer planning horizon of 20 to 30 years.
