City Manager Invites Community to Dream Bigger
Monday, May 1, 2017
Claremore City Manager Jim Thomas issued an invitation to the community to dream bigger following his budget presentation to city council at Monday’s council meeting. The announcement of Claremore Dreams 2025 outlined a nine-month visioning process that results in a ten-year strategic plan.
“During the January 2017 State of the City address I announced the proposal to develop a new plan that will be a true lasting legacy,” said Thomas. ”We are working on a shared vision. Our goal is to establish a legacy that will stand the test of time. That future generations and our children will inherit.”
In 2012 a consensus among city council and department heads was reached to focus resources in a few keys areas including: regional partnerships, city planning, economic development, tourism, and transportation. The fall of 2017 marks the culmination of five focused years of progress presenting the ideal time to refresh the vision of Claremore’s future.
