Strategic Plan

Goals

  • Support Economic Development
  • Exceptional Career Development Opportunities
  • Environmental Stewardship/Education
  • Diverse Quality Services

Given the rapidly changing nature of the conditions under which we deliver services, GBMSD elected to develop a Strategic Plan to help us proactively manage these challenges. In setting the tone for our strategic planning, we've emphasized the importance of regional collaboration, leadership, education, and sustainability.

Collaboration

We recognize that we face regional challenges and that we can accomplish more and perform more efficiently through collective action.

Leadership

We recognize that as one of the largest environmental service providers in the region, we have both the resources and the responsibility to be proactive, manage risks, and promote innovation.

Education

We recognize that our most daunting issues require us to challenge the status quo and broaden our collective appreciation for the complexities of environmental stewardship.

Sustainability 

We recognize that we have profound responsibilities to oversee the economic, environmental, and social impacts of our resource use.

Strategic Initiatives

GBMSD's strategic planning process is designed to identify strategic investments that will define new directions for GBMSD. We have been deliberate in our efforts and yet still anticipate the need to modify plans to address stakeholder concerns, regulatory changes, and market dynamics. Four strategic initiatives were formulated:

Regional Municipal Environmental Services

Through tailored partnerships, provide environmental services to other municipalities not currently served by GBMSD.

Watershed Based Planning

Develop and advance implementation of a watershed-planning framework to more cost-effectively address regional water quality.

In-District Sustainability

Implement an internal sustainability program that integrates economy, ecology, and equity into daily decisions, policies, and practices to ensure a prosperous and healthy future for today's and tomorrow's generations.

Risk-Based Asset Management

Develop an asset renewal and replacement program to minimize the life-cycle costs of GBMSD capital assets at acceptable levels of service and risk.

Our future lies in working with our customers, regulators, and regional stakeholders to align our activities and services to meet the emerging challenges of the day.
