Strategic Plan Communications Toolkit

The most important message to convey is that the Strategic Plan is a framework for our work, focused on four key drivers and organized around 10 Community Outcome Areas. Each area has an accompanying indicators as well as its own dashboard with key metrics to help leaders, practitioners, and advocates make data-driven decisions.

Please help us by:

  • Sharing the latest annual report broadly
  • Lifting up the key highlights
  • Directing people to the dashboards

This information is too valuable to stay on the shelf! 

Social Media Toolkit

The Countywide Strategic Plan is all about making Fairfax County work better for everyone by intentionally investing in the areas that our community has identified as being most important. We're using fresh ideas and teamwork to save money, improve processes, and promote and support both economic prosperity and a more equitable county. This plan is already making a big difference by helping us tackle inequalities with new tools and data, so we can support more effective programs and services.

Each year the team releases an annual report and the highlights within demonstrate how the county is using a thoughtful approach based on data to improve our quality of life. From enhancing public safety to expanding economic opportunities, the county remains focused on delivering meaningful actions for all residents.

Communities of Opportunity Dashboard

Through the Countywide Strategic Plan, the county’s vision is that all neighborhoods in Fairfax County will be communities of opportunity. As the Countywide Strategic Plan is implemented, we will focus on transforming areas where residents face economic, educational, health, housing, and other challenges to accessing opportunity more broadly. This dashboard offers two tools that display the variation in access to opportunity and wellbeing across the county: the Communities of Opportunity Index and the Communities of Opportunity Equity Map.
