County Commissioner Holly Davis was our guest speaker. Holly’s charge is to lead the strategic planning process for Citrus County. She explained that her approach to planning is ensuring that the process is citizen-led. A two-day retreat conference covering all facets of county life led to a statement of mission, vision, and key strategic goals. The county’s motto is “Welcome to Citrus County, where nature and community thrive”. The planning process is still on-going and citizens are encouraged to visit www.citrusbocc.com/townhall to get information and to provide input. The strategic plan will cover the period 2023 through 2027, and during every year its progress will be carefully tracked.
