This strategic plan for the Columbiana County Park District outlines a roadmap to preserve open space, develop recreation areas, and provide healthful outdoor experiences for its citizens. The plan is built upon four core goals: ensuring financial viability, delivering beautiful park experiences, acquiring and protecting desirable park land while safeguarding watersheds and water quality, and fostering cooperative relationships with other agencies. Key initiatives include securing new funding streams, maintaining and improving existing park assets, expanding trails and facilities, enhancing natural resource conservation, and strengthening community engagement and educational programs, with a focus on professionalizing administration through additional paid staff.
