The plan will provide a roadmap for the City of Flagstaff to prioritize projects and funding, develop and improve parks and recreation programs, and create a vision for the future. Strategic recommendations and both short-term and long-term goals will be identified in the plan for the PROSE Division to achieve over the next 10+ years.
