Many department directors and leaders within Mesa County have come together this month to begin the first stage of developing Mesa County’s updated strategic plan. Our strategic plan is the guiding force that keeps Mesa County grounded and aligned throughout all departments, with a shared vision and mission at the top of mind when making budgetary decisions and serving residents. Developing our updated strategic plan is an energizing and meaningful effort — not simply the creation of a document, but the fostering of a mindset and culture that brings us closer to our goals and strengthens how we serve residents with excellence in every area of county government. Stay tuned for updates as the project progresses. (fb)

Happy #NationalPublicWorksWeek! 🚧 Today, we shine a well-deserved spotlight on the incredible people behind the scenes and on the streets who keep our county running smoothly. From Engineering and Traffic to Solid Waste, Sanitary Sewer, and Road and Bridge crews, our Public Works professionals keep essential systems running safely, reliably, and efficiently every day. They don’t only build and maintain, they serve with #purpose and show up with #presence. Whether it’s safer roads, clean water, reliable sewer systems, or efficient waste services, every improvement begins with their hard work. To our Public Works teams, thank you for all you do, rain or shine, day or night, to keep our county connected, clean, and resilient. We appreciate you! #NPWW #PeopleMatter (fb)
