What does the City of Rehoboth Beach value? What should our community priorities be? And what are some of the ways that we can best arrive at the community that Rehoboth wants to be tomorrow?
These are some of the questions that will be addressed through the strategic planning process. Shaped by community input, the city's strategic plan will provide a clear vision for where Rehoboth Beach is headed and an implementation action plan that will help city staff arrive there.
The city is working with Emergent Method, a national management consultant firm, to develop the city's first strategic plan. The process is expected to take about seven months with a final draft of the strategic plan to be presented in spring 2025.
Community input and engagement will be among the first steps taken in the plan-development process in fall 2024. Engagement opportunities will include one-on-one interviews, up to four community listening sessions, an online survey for community partners, and an anonymous employee survey.
Listening sessions
As part of its strategic planning process, the City of Rehoboth Beach will host a series of listening sessions the week of November 12 to gather feedback from residents, business owners, and visitors regarding their experiences with the city and to help shape the city’s future priorities. Each listening session will include small-group discussions about strengths and opportunities as well as a prioritization exercise and full-group discussion.
Individuals are welcome to attend multiple sessions, though the format of each session will be the same. There is no need to sign up in advance, just show up. See the timeline to the right for times and locations of the listening sessions, including a Saturday session.
