What does the City of Rehoboth Beach value? What should our community priorities be? And what are some of the ways that we can best arrive at the community that Rehoboth wants to be tomorrow?
These are some of the questions that will be addressed through the strategic planning process. Shaped by community input, the city's strategic plan will provide a clear vision for where Rehoboth Beach is headed and an implementation action plan that will help city staff arrive there.
The City of Rehoboth Beach adopted in May 2025 a strategic plan that identifies three priority areas – and associated strategies and action steps – for the city to focus on over the next five years.
The three primary focus areas identified are:
continually improving access and amenities throughout the city.
building and maintaining foundational and forward-looking infrastructure
fostering excellence and coordination in all city operations
The 2025 Strategic Plan was developed by planning consultant Emergent Method following a stakeholder-driven engagement process undertaken in the fall of 2024. Engagement strategies included community surveys, in-person and virtual listening sessions, and one-on-one interviews. Quarterly, a report on strategic plan goals will be presented to the Board of Commissioners as a way to mark progress and ensure accountability to the community.

CLOSED: The Strategic Plan Community Survey is now closed. Results will be reported to the Board of Commissioners November 15 and posted to this site shortly after that.
The City of Rehoboth Beach is currently engaged in a planning process to develop a five-year strategic plan, which will create a vision for a future Rehoboth Beach and guide staff initiatives to support that vision. As part of this process, the city is asking stakeholders and other individuals to share their perspectives about city services, priorities that should guide the city moving forward, and how the city can best work to meet the needs of those who live, work, and visit in Rehoboth Beach.
Please be honest and forthcoming in your responses. Your responses will be reported in summary form only. This survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Communications Manager Lynne Coan.
Thank you for sharing your input via this survey and helping to shape the city’s strategic plan.
