Amherst County Strategic Plan 2027-2031
The Amherst County Strategic Plan aims to nurture a vibrant and healthy community through transparent and fiscally responsible leadership and quality public service. It envisions Amherst County as the community of choice for living, working, playing, and learning, recognized for its safety, neighborly atmosphere, business, education, recreational opportunities, and natural beauty. Key strategic areas include increasing citizen satisfaction, promoting high-quality core services (community safety, education, recreation, solid waste management), fostering economic development (business expansion, tourism), optimizing county staffing and performance (recruitment, retention), and ensuring environmental stewardship (preserving natural beauty, agricultural heritage).
