The City of Gahanna is undertaking an effort to create a new Strategic Plan that will guide the City’s future. The Strategic Plan will serve the government organization and community by providing guidance on city decisions and priorities. To ensure this happens, a diverse group of community members will be convened to guide the planning process. The Steering Committee will work closely with City staff, the planning consultant team, and other community members to provide insight and perspective into the planning process. Committee members will be expected to actively participate in committee meetings and help spread the word about the planning effort to encourage community participation. They will also advise on the plan’s substance, helping staff and the consultant team to integrate the community’s intuition into the plan
