As we plan for 2025, most local governments are facing the harsh reality of a fiscal cliff caused by a perfect storm of winnowing federal grant funds, shrinking tax bases, and inflation. So, it’s essential to align increasingly scarce resources against key priorities. 

For local governments, strategic planning is essential to the budget as it ensures alignment between financial resources and community priorities. By forecasting needs, identifying risks, and prioritizing investments, strategic planning optimizes resource allocation, promotes financial accountability, and enhances transparency in budget decision-making. Furthermore, strategic planning allows local governments to proactively address challenges, capitalize on opportunities, and deliver impactful results for the public.
