STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN

Oak Creek’s Strategic Action Plan guides the City’s work and priorities for 2023 through 2027. It provides a shared framework for how the City serves residents, businesses, and visitors while planning for growth, organizational strength, and long-term success.

As Oak Creek continues to grow and evolve, the Strategic Action Plan helps align elected officials, City staff, boards, commissions, and committees around the goals and projects that matter most. It is designed to keep the organization focused, transparent, and intentional in how it delivers services and invests in the future.

The City has used Strategic Action Plans since 2017. The current plan was developed during 2022 and early 2023 and covers the 2023–2027 period. Past plans remain available for reference.
