The SFPD Strategic Plan
The Sunshine Fire Protection District Board initiated a strategic planning process in mid-2023 to document current conditions, consider trends and future needs, and guide the direction and priorities of the District. The last plan was developed in 1985! It is the Board’s desire to develop a roadmap for the District that reflects the values of the Sunshine community and considers the unique challenges and opportunities faced by the District.
