Leaders work together to formulate strategic plan

by | Jan 28, 2021 | Latest

The Murphy City Council City learned about the city’s efforts to formulate a strategic plan for economic develop­ment at its Jan. 19 meeting.

City Manager Mike Castro conducted a presentation to the council and said the report would be a “check-in” on what was occurring with the devel­opment of the plan. Two joint work sessions were held with the Murphy Community De­velopment Corporation and the Murphy Municipal Develop­ment District boards, with city staffers having a meeting with these bodies Nov. 9 to receive general input regarding eco­nomic development. From that meeting, city staff created a set of guiding principles, goals and objectives, with these items being discussed and re­fined by the boards in a second joint work session on Dec. 7, city officials said.
