This strategic plan provides direction to the activities of the Mineral County Development Authority (MCDA) for the next three-to-five years. It is based upon discussions held during work sessions with the board on February 12, 2014 and March 18, 2014 as well as a session to review the draft on April 16, 2014, along with an analysis of applicable data and other background information.

This plan supersedes the previous strategic plans developed by the development authority. It is designed to promote the economic well-being of the county and the quality of life of county residents. It also is designed to aid with the operation and administration of the development authority as a formal entity within the county government structure. To that end, the plan includes both externally-focused and internally-focused proposed actions.
