Polk County Strategic Planning Community Forum

The Polk County Board of Supervisors is launching a strategic planning process to help shape the future of our county, and your voice matters!

Join us on March 18 for a Polk County Strategic Planning Community Forum hosted by the Des Moines West Side Chamber of Commerce. This session is part of a countywide effort to gather input from residents, businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders.

The strategic plan will set the vision and direction for Polk County over the next ten years. Through this process, county leaders will assess current needs, anticipate future challenges, and identify key priorities that will guide policy decisions, budgeting, and long-term investments.

Discussion topics will include:

• Public Health and Human Services

• Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

• Economic Development and Workforce Readiness

• Infrastructure and Sustainability

• Equity and Community Well-being

• Government Transparency and Accountability

• Quality of Life Enhancements

This event is open to both members and non-members. We encourage business owners, community stakeholders, and residents to attend and share their perspectives.

Join us in shaping the future of Polk County!
