Dorset Priority Projects Plan

Dorset Priority Projects Plan

The Dorset Priority Projects Plan (the Plan) has been developed with a coordinated approach to align with local, regional, state and federal plans. The Plan takes a Council‐wide view of needs and opportunities while aligning closely with the four identiﬁed 2023‐2032 Strategic Plan focus areas (pillars). The Plan will be reviewed every 6 months and will be used to apply for funding, leverage support and provide a starting point for regional collaborations.

The current version of the Plan was adopted by Council at the April 20, 2026 Council meeting. It is available in the document library below.

Council is currently seeking funding towards projects within the Dorset Priority Projects Plan.
