Published on August 12, 2024

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (August 12, 2024) – The City of Charlotte launched a new Strategic Progress Tracker to measure headway on key priorities and policy goals established by City Council and highlighted during their January annual strategy meeting. This innovative tool will enhance visibility in the city's efforts to achieve its goals by linking Council’s strategic priority areas and previously adopted plans like the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the Strategic Energy Action Plan, and the Strategic Mobility Plan. 

The tracker will be updated bi-annually and monitor progress across five strategic priority areas: 

1. Well-Managed Government: Focusing on equity, engagement, and environmental stewardship while maintaining financial responsibility and efficient service delivery. 

2. Great Neighborhoods: Implementing comprehensive initiatives for affordable housing and neighborhood enhancement. 

3. Safe Communities: Ensuring neighborhood safety and health through policing, fire protection and community relations. 

4. Transportation and Planning: Anticipating growth, making strategic investments, and developing a comprehensive transportation network. 

5. Workforce and Business Development: Fostering a thriving business climate, sustainable jobs and economic opportunities for all residents. 

"Our Strategic Progress Tracker is an important tool to assure Charlotte residents that we are committed to serving them and turning our shared vision into reality,” said City Manager Marcus Jones. “Charlotte is one of the top-ranked cities for the value of services we provide to our community, and this tracker will help ensure that we continue providing exceptional services to our residents.”   

The Strategic Progress Tracker is now available on the city's website at charlottenc.gov/progress.
