In 2014, from January through October, the Village of Little Chute Board of Trustees, staff and Strategic Planning Advisory Committee worked to draft the Village's first ever Strategic Plan. The Village of Little Chute 2015-2019 Strategic Plan is meant to serve as a road map for where the Village is strategically headed over the next 5 years.

Of course, most day to day services will remain unchanged, but this plan will guide a number of other actions within the Village to ensure that we are achieving the goals as identified in the plan. Below you will find the main pieces of the plan and as we continue to implement this strategy, we will update key documents. Should you have any comments, suggestions or questions on the strategic plan or its process, please contact the Village Administrator.
