In the fall of 2015, City Council approved the general outline for a proposed spring 2016 process to draft an updated City Strategic Plan. The existing Alexandria City Strategic Plan was intended to be in effect until 2015. The new Plan would use community input as the foundation to define the results of community values; communicate a clear direction to the public and City Government; include measures and targets to more easily track progress, share success, and identify and solve problems; set a six-year plan from FY 2017-2022 with a mid-point check-in/refinement in FY 2019; and align with the City’s performance management system,  Results Alexandria. 

In January 2017, the Alexandria City Council unanimously adopted a Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2017 through 2022. The plan was updated in November 2017, with new action items that would get the City closer to the goals for 2022.
