Strategic Plan
The City of Armstrong’s Strategic Plan for 2021 to 2025 builds on annual financial and operational plans produced by staff and directed by Council. This plan guides Council and staff and is used for assessing progress towards the strategic objectives on a quarterly basis. Further, this plan provides Council and corporate results to focus on during Council’s term. Affordable Housing, Economic Development, Civic Facilities, Roads, Community Outreach, Water, Sewer, and Storm Water management are among the top objectives and priorities in the current strategic plan.
Housing affordability and availability are some of the key challenges facing North Okanagan Communities. In May 2019, the Regional District of the North Okanagan Board of Directors unanimously agreed to apply for funding from the Union of B.C. Municipalities to undertake the development of a Regional Housing Needs Assessment. This assessment would focus on a regional approach and acknowledge that no single community can address the full range of affordable housing needs. This collaborative approach has set the stage for a comprehensive review that will enable each community and the region to respond to the local housing crisis.
