City Of Yuma, AZ
HOME MenuStrategic Plan
Since 2020, the Yuma City Council has held an Annual Council Retreat to develop, review, and update the City’s Strategic Plan. These sessions give the Council time to step away from daily business, focus on long-term priorities, and ensure the City’s vision and strategic outcomes remain relevant to community needs and aspirations.
In March 2025, the Council reaffirmed its commitment to the existing Vision Statement and the five (5) strategic outcomes that guide Yuma’s future. Councilmembers reviewed the definitions for each outcome, reached consensus on an updated definition for Safe & Prosperous, considered progress on current initiatives, and identified new priorities to better align with the strategic outcomes. This plan reflects the priorities, updated language, and initiatives that emerged from those conversations.
