In March 2024, Jeff Emory, a Community Economic Development Planner from the NC Department of Commerce, presented a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and a Resolution for the CORE program. Since that time, a work group composed of Town Staff and Dallas residents has been meeting monthly with Jeff and his team to discuss various aspects of Dallas. This group has focused on topics such as Outdoor Recreation Asset Mapping, Community Assessment, and the creation of an outdoor recreation strategic plan. On April 8, 2025, the Dallas Board of Aldermen officially adopted the Dallas CORE Strategic Plan. Presented here is the Dallas CORE Strategic Plan, which we encourage all citizens to review.
