In 2018, we had the chance to hear from Paducah residents on the issues most important to the city and those who live in it. After hundreds of surveys, thousands of sit-down talks and more social media comments than we can count, we have a plan.
We broke that plan into four key visions below, each with a color-coordinated icon to help you track our progress. Look for these icons across city communications – whether on social media, city updates via email or the rest of this website – to keep tabs on how we’re building Our Paducah.
With the 2020 Strategic Plan, we’ve refined our focus and updated all objectives. PLUS to better prioritize our Action Items, we now have two new Objectives Lists:
