Council Begins Strategic Planning Process

 

The City Council is undergoing a strategic planning process to guide the future of our great City. We held two town hall meetings and provided an online opportunity to gather public input. There was a great response and many ideas were generated for the City Council to consider. A compilation of the comments have been put into a survey format. The City Council is asking residents to take the survey and prioritize the suggested concepts, projects and programs. The survey is open to all Moreno Valley residents through Tuesday, February 9, 2016. YOUR opinion matters.
