The strategy plan is developed to provide a long-range vision for a community or program. They are like road maps - helping chart a course between the present and an intended destination. The plan is flexible with living guidelines and policies and able to adjust and adapt. 

The strategy plan builds on and supplements the existing work on the Clear Creek Flooding Project. The strategy plan develops the vision and framework that will guide the prioritization of farm, fish and floodplain elements in the area. 

The strategy plan will include:

• Vision and goals for the project
• Purpose and need - including a needs assessment for farm, fish and floodplain
• Planning context with related planning efforts in the area
• Baseline and assessment of opportunities and constraints
• Stakeholder input and needs and stakeholder communication plan
• Decision making process and issue resolution process
• Implementation strategies and action plans for projects, studies and processes such as schedule and funding strategies

Extensive stakeholder engagement and technical working groups are already in place to determine current circumstances. These efforts are led by Pierce County and Floodplains for the Future.

Planning staff will check in often with a committee of key community members, leaders and professionals that advise the strategy plan and the Clear Creek Flooding Project.

The county will also seek input on the plan at future open houses. These will also help inform the public and the Clear Creek community.

Updates to this page will show dates for meetings, open houses and other opportunities for involvement.

If your organization would like to learn more about the strategy plan, the plan's manager is available to meet with you. Email Angela Angove or call 253-798-2460.

Completion of the strategy plan is expected by spring 2020.
