The Strategic Plan was last updated in 2019 and focused the work of Lane County in four priority areas:
- Safe, Healthy County
- Vibrant Communities
- Robust Infrastructure
- People & Partnerships
Examples of successful initiatives under the most recent Strategic Plan include the purchase of the former VA clinic on River Avenue for use as a shelter and navigation center; construction of Permanent Supportive Housing units; increased rural patrols in West Lane County and the McKenzie Valley; and the completion of a thorough Parks Funding Task Force process.
