The Clark County Land & Water Resource Management Plan (2020-2029) provides a strategic framework for protecting and enhancing the county's natural resources while ensuring economic viability. Key focus areas include improving groundwater and surface water quality, reducing soil erosion, protecting wetlands, controlling invasive species, preserving farmland, and managing forests and woodlands. The plan aims to achieve these objectives through education, promotion of conservation practices, financial incentives, and inter-agency coordination, fostering sustainable resource management for the benefit of the community and local businesses.

The 2023-2025 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) focuses on addressing key health concerns identified through the Community Health Assessment (CHA). The plan prioritizes physical environment and safety by promoting environmental health hazard awareness and safety practices. It aims to reduce communicable diseases by increasing childhood vaccination rates and improving community access to resources. The plan also targets alcohol misuse and drug use by implementing youth and adult-focused initiatives, preventing unauthorized access to prescription medications, and providing opioid overdose prevention measures.

The 2024-2026 Strategic Plan for the Clark County Health Department focuses on strengthening internal operations and establishing a clear roadmap for supporting healthy communities. The plan outlines four goal areas: public health advocacy, community engagement, department operations, and employee optimization. It emphasizes enhancing partner support, ensuring a well-versed oversight committee, increasing community awareness for services, strengthening professional partnerships, promoting cultural engagement, balancing community needs with staff capacity, pursuing financial sustainability, and supporting employee well-being and professional growth.
