Project Overview

The City of Trotwood is located in Montgomery County, Ohio, approximately 6 miles southwest of Dayton and encompasses 28.4 miles in area. Founded in 1901, Trotwood merged with Madison Township in 1996 to become the largest city area-wise in Montgomery County, and fourth in population. The City of Trotwood is a community long defined by its entrepreneurial spirit and civic pride, governmental excellence and commercial success, and its small-town charm with big city advantages. With a current population of 24,431, this is a growing community with a unique blend of urban, rural and metropolitan areas.

The City of Trotwood has contracted with Future iQ to guide a strategic planning process for the community. The strategic planning process aims at a minimum to include the following:

• Identification of high leverage strategic goals
• Equitable inclusion of all strategic planning participants
• Facilitation of conversations with participants
• Support of strategic planning participants by facilitating the internal and external environmental assessments
• Communicating the work of the strategic planning participants and the results of their work
• Process that is on track, time and budget
• Ensuring the implementation and evaluation of the plan contains realistic and measurable indicators and metrics
• Framework for renewal of the vision, mission and core values
