With the approval of the FY24-FY28 Strategic Plan, Albemarle County's Board of Supervisors put in place a bold vision for the County over the next five years. By approving this plan, the Board entrusted Albemarle County Local Government and its partners with the task of following through on the plan's goals and objectives. Albemarle County Local Government staff have dedicated time in FY24 to honor that responsibility, not only following through with the execution of the plan’s goals, but also tracking our efforts, successes, and challenges through our new SPEAR program.

The County’s efforts in FY24 to produce this SPEAR report demonstrate a dedication to high performance, accountability, and ultimately, better outcomes and transparency for our residents. With the SPEAR FY24 report, we are now empowered to take action and make decisions with data guiding our way. Reviewing the SPEAR FY24 report reveals a local government that is confident in its work, ready to meet the challenges of a growing community, and motivated to succeed.
