As Hartford Mayor Pedro E. Segarra approaches 16 months in office, he has refined the four key goals of his administration.
“Throughout my life and professional career, I have witnessed how interconnected events and progress truly are. That just reinforces my belief in an inclusive, wholistic, and well-rounded approach to the many challenges facing Connecticut’s Capital City. No one department can make improvements in isolation. It is a collection of key individuals with related responsibilities who can combine their talents and best thinking to make that improvement happen. That being said, while the goals of my administration have not dramatically changed, the mission statement has crystallized so that the quality of life and experiences of our residents, employees, and visitors restores pride,” said Mayor Segarra.
The refined goals are:
GOAL #1: Each City office and department makes professional and fiscally responsible decisions based on data and delivers quality customer service that advances the City’s well being.
GOAL #2: Improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods and community by focusing on infrastructure, eradicating blight and strengthening public safety to attain a livable and sustainable City.
GOAL #3: Align community-wide educational resources by integrating higher education, senior services, library, recreation, and early childhood operations.
GOAL #4: A livable, sustainable and vibrant City with programs and partnerships that harness existing assets, support the business environment and maximize job retention and growth.
The previous goals were: 1) Ensure that each City office and department is held accountable for operating in a fiscally accountable manner and for getting results that advance the City’s interest; 2) Safeguard the health, cleanliness and safety of the community in ways that reflect the wants and needs of the people who live, work and visit Hartford; 3) Create jobs and improve the quality of education for Hartford’s children and adults; and 4) Pursue opportunities to accelerate and expand the economic vitality of Hartford’s business community and neighborhoods.
