Marin County is asking residents, workers, students and business owners to help set priorities for county government over the next six years as it develops its first countywide strategic plan in more than 25 years.
The yearlong effort, called Envision Marin, is intended to bring together work the county has done on housing, homelessness, emergency preparedness, climate resilience, economic vitality and other issues under one plan.
Once adopted, the plan will guide county services, investments, department work plans, capital projects and three consecutive two-year budget cycles, county officials said.
“We want people across Marin to help shape those choices before we carry them into future budgets and department work plans,” County Executive Derek Johnson said in a statement Tuesday.
People can share ideas, including what they value about the county and what they want to improve, protect, create or prioritize for the future. The county has set up a website to gather the feedback.
Officials also plan to hold community workshops throughout Marin County, with in-person and online options, language access and accommodations. Dates and registration information will be announced.
County officials said they will also work with community organizations and local partners to reach people who have not traditionally participated in county planning.
Public input gathered this fall will help shape draft goals, priorities and strategies this winter. The Board of Supervisors is expected to review the draft plan in early 2027, followed by implementation planning through summer 2027.
County officials said they plan to connect the final priorities to future budgets and capital planning and create public reporting tools so residents can track progress over the plan’s six-year life.
