Pitt County launches first strategic planning process, asks residents for input

Pitt County Manager Janice Gallagher announced the county is launching its first strategic planning process and urged residents to take part in shaping future priorities and investments. “We're excited to launch our first strategic planning process and invite you to help shape Pitt County's future,” Gallagher said.

The county plans to gather community input through an online community survey, a Social Pinpoint site and five public input sessions. “You can share ideas on our Social Pinpoint through the community survey or at 1 of 5 public input sessions,” Gallagher said. “Please participate to make our community stronger for generations to come.”

The county described the plan as a road map to guide future priorities and investments. Gallagher emphasized that community input is a central element of the process; no further details about dates, locations, topics for the sessions or the survey link were specified in the announcement.

This initiative represents an initial, county-led effort to set long-term priorities; the manager’s remarks did not specify funding levels, timelines for adoption, or names of staff leading the project. County officials did not record any formal motions or votes in the remarks provided.
