Mayor of Bloomington helps Streator strategic plan

STREATOR – Mayor of Bloomington, Tari Renner, assisted Streator’s council and departments heads with their strategic planning on Tuesday night. The general objective of strategic planning included utilizing an acronym “SWOT” a.k.a, addressing strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats to  overcome barriers and achieve goals over a short term period. Mayor Renner and Streator’s City Manager David Plyman assisted the city in identifying some weaknesses like communication and how to develop a stronger line with the community. City officials also discussed strengths like volunteerism and ways to give more recognition to those who help to encourage keeping the spirit alive. Opportunities mentioned that lie ahead for Streator are the 2020 Census, 400-500 acres of new annexed sites and a growing Hispanic population.  City Manager David Plyman says the next step in the process will be to come up with a list of priorities to present to full council in the future.
