In late September, the City of Worcester released its five-year strategic plan with the goal to make Worcester the best-managed city in the country. The plan was developed by the City Manager’s Office over two years and was informed by both internal process reviews and solicitation of community feedback. In total, the plan outlines 49 objectives within its six identified priority goals:
Economic growth: Expanding the tax base; adding 10,000 new jobs by 2030; and enabling and supporting diverse neighborhood-scale commerce
Public health and safety: Developing and maintaining public health and safety infrastructure; strengthening support for those with mental health and substance-use disorders; and reducing overdoses
Affordable neighborhoods and reduced homelessness: Expanding affordable housing options; creating opportunities for affordable homeownership for low-income, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), and immigrant households; and increasing outreach to unhoused individuals
Clean city initiatives: Minimizing litter and illegal dumping; developing well-maintained public spaces; and increasing environmental resilience to pollution
High-performing government and strong financial health: Implementing organizational culture and philosophy; centralizing core administrative functions; and ensuring diversity, equity, and inclusion goals are met
Investment in quality education: Providing clean and safe learning environments, strengthening the relationship between the City and Worcester Public Schools, and expanding access to educational resources
