City encourages stakeholders to take survey, help shape strategic plan

As an initial step in developing the City of Rehoboth Beach’s strategic plan, a community survey is now live on the city’s engagement platform, Reach Out Rehoboth. The city encourages stakeholders and other individuals to share their perspectives about city services, priorities that should guide the city moving forward, and how the city can best work to meet the needs of those who live, work, and visit in Rehoboth Beach.

The survey addresses the city’s current service areas - public outreach, land use planning and maintenance, financial stewardship, public infrastructure maintenance, code enforcement, police/public safety, special events, and utilities – and asks how those efforts could be improved. Residents, business owners, and other stakeholders are encouraged to complete this survey, which will be open through November 5.

The city is working with Emergent Method, a national management consulting firm, to develop its first strategic plan. Additional public engagement opportunities will be available throughout the process. The final draft of the strategic plan is anticipated to be completed in spring 2025.
