Fairfield’s Strategic Plan Committee Outreach Report

Fairfield’s Strategic Plan Committee (SPC), which held its first meeting on June 1, 2017, recently posted on its website two reports entitled “Outreach Detailed Report”and “Outreach Summary,” that, “based on the community-wide input” it has gathered, “define the primary topics and significant areas in which to focus further analysis and discussion.”  According to the SPC, “the community identified issues and aspirations” . . . “can generally be categorized into the following five key topic areas”: Governance; Financial Stability; Economic Development; Education; and Community Character and Resiliency.
Presumably, the “further analysis and discussion” to which the SPC refers means that the Committee’s next step will be to analyze what is happening in the Town, State, Nation and World, and how what it sees happening is likely to affect Fairfield in order to answer such basic strategic planning questions as: 
·         How should we assess Fairfield’s current condition and evaluate its future prospects?
·         Is the future outlook for Fairfield good, bad or indifferent?
·         What are most important determinants of the Town’s future success?
·         Can Fairfield continue to prosper with only some minor adjustments to how it has operated in the past, or do we need to consider major changes?
·         What major strategic options, if any, should Fairfield be considering?
Once this critical analytical stage is completed, the SPC can address such equally critical questions as:
·         What core values, beliefs and priorities should guide our strategy?
·         What measures of success (a.k.a., key performance indicators) should we adopt?
·         What major strategic goals we should adopt?
·         What are the best ways to achieve those goals?
This final stage of making real choices, some of which may well be “tough choices” (e.g., choosing between town character and financial sustainability) will require even more intense community engagement with all interested stakeholders.
We invite anyone who is interested to revisit the “Strategic Plan for Fairfield” that Fairfield Taxpayer created in 2015.

Welcome to FairfieldStrategicPlan.com -  a crowdsourced strategic plan for Fairfield.

At this new site you will find here a series of papers that Fairfield Taxpayer (www.FairfieldTaxpayer.com) has written on the subject of A Strategic Plan for Fairfield. 
​

We have labeled this site a “crowdsourced strategic plan” because over time we hope our initial papers will inspire contributions from a wide range of stakeholders in Fairfield’s future, and that our collective efforts will make an important contribution to the creation and adoption of a plan that will allow our Town to continue to prosper by keeping it both desirable and affordable for all its residents.
