Vision, Mission & Priorities


A Bold Vision for the Future.

For over 60 years, the City of Sugar Land has been the regional standard-bearer in government accessibility, transparency, and openness in the delivery of the high level of services our citizens expect.

This can only be accomplished by a commitment to bold and thoughtful thinking designed to make life sweeter and more refined for the people and businesses that call Sugar Land home. We call it "The Sugar Land Way".

The Sugar Land Way 2.0

The evolution of the Sugar Land Way - now known as the Sugar Land Way 2.0 is a pathway to re-imagine the city and provide for future success. This mindset continues to provide a guidepost to distinguish ourselves from others and seek opportunities that break from the norm. In short, we are setting out to do things differently.

Success Through Strategic Outcomes

Re-imagining the future requires us to have a bold vision – one that supports a next generation competitive advantage in the lifecycle of our city and focuses on initiatives intended to address City Council’s vision. Strategic Outcomes were recently identified by City Council that reflect the community’s priorities.

To achieve these Strategic Outcomes, we are implementing a “First-Team Mindset.” This means our resources will galvanize to support these outcomes. City teams are participating in what we call “All-in Initiatives” which bring resources from all levels of the organization to work together. As part of this process, a number of priorities have been identified.

We are very excited about where this new strategic journey will take us knowing that the best is yet to come for Sugar Land.
