STRATEGIC PLAN

The city of Burleson is a reflective and forward-thinking
organization. Our Strategic Plan serves as a vital
framework that not only establishes the foundation for our
operations but also provides clear direction for achieving
our service objectives. By defining specific goals,
strategies, and key priorities, we ensure that our
operations and resources are aligned to meet the needs of
our future. Since its initial adoption in 2019, the diligent
implementation of this plan has led to significant
advancements for our community, enhancing the quality
of life for all who live and work here.

We engage in a Strategic Planning Process to assess our
accomplishments, share updates across our four vision
blocks, and identify new or emerging areas of focus. This
dynamic and intentional process reflects our leadership
framework.

In February 2024, city leaders held a Strategic Planning
Session that emphasized the importance of data-driven
decision-making. Key priorities included exploring
additional funding for stormwater management and street
maintenance, alongside a sustained focus on improving
city infrastructure. The city also aims to maintain an
active presence with the state legislature and enhance
regional collaboration to improve grant success,
particularly through the North Central Texas Council of
Governments.

The execution of the 2022 Bond Program projects,
sustained public safety operations, and vibrant economic
development—including the growth of Old Town, the
development of Chisholm Summit and Hooper Business
Park, and the strategic planning for a future
hotel/conference center—were also highlighted as critical
objectives.

Through this strategic framework, we are committed to
continuously assessing our progress and identifying new
or emerging areas of focus. By remaining responsive to
the evolving needs of our community, we ensure that the
city of Burleson continues to thrive as a vibrant, safe, and
inclusive place for all residents. 25
