Pine Knoll Shores Strategic Plan
By Kevin Reed, Pine Knoll Shores Town Planner
The Pine Knoll Shores Board of Commissioners adopted the towns first Strategic
Plan on February 13,2014. The plan was subsequently amended in February 2016
and again in August 2017. Focus groups have been conducted annually to assist
the Strategic Planning Committee in making sure the plans recommendations and
priorities are in line with the community’s priorities. The plan covers seven strategic
areas for the town, and in each of the strategic areas there are goals, which are broad
statements of an ideal condition; objectives, which are measurable mileposts that tell
us if we are achieving our goals; and action items, which are tasks that will help to
achieve the goals. The full plan document is located on the towns website (townof-
pks.com) under the “Resources” menu and at townofpks.com/strategic-plan. Below
is a quick summary of the plans focus areas, including the goals and objectives for
each of the seven areas.
