All People's Lives are Culturally Enriched

Arts and cultural organizations and libraries have positive economic, social, and quality of life impacts on a community. Vibrant and culturally rich communities are economic engines in our community that attract businesses and jobs, as well as create job opportunities themselves. It is Fulton County’s responsibility to ensure that residents have access to a variety of quality cultural activities county-wide. 

Performance Dashboards and Initiatives

Strategic Performance Dashboard
Strategic performance measures track activities which often extend beyond the power of one department or even the county government to affect on its own, but we believe improvements can be made in these areas through cooperation between departments and through partnerships with other government agencies, non-profits and the private sector. View dashboard
Department Performance Dashboard 
Department performance measures are specific to county departments and are designed to track performance for the programs and services provided by each department. Departments set annual performance goals and report quarterly on their progress toward those goals. View dashboard
Fulton County Strategic Initiatives
Strategic initiatives are major undertakings often involving multiple departments and are aimed at meeting strategic objectives. This section provides information on County's current year initiatives under the All People are Safe priority area as well as accomplishments related to initiatives from last year. View initiatives
