EPRD Strategic Plan is Adopted!

On October 26, 2023, the EPRD Board unanimously supported and adopted EPRD’s Strategic Plan 2023. The new Strategic Plan provides a roadmap for EPRD to serve the community for the next 5+ years. It is the culmination of a year of planning, analysis, and listening to the community, with over 2,300 points of community engagement. Thank you for participating in this effort to #ELEVATEOURCOMMUNITY!
