History: In November, 2000 the Commission began working with Angelou Economics to
develop an economic development plan. The process for developing the plan
has been very inclusive with much input being collected from business leaders
and citizens. At the September 27, 2001 City Council meeting, a presentation
was made and a recommendation to accept was made by the Economic
Development Advisory Commission.
Funding:
Cost: $210,000 from 2001-2002 General Operating Budget
Source of funds: General Operating Budget
Outside Resources: Angelou Economics
Impact/Benefit: This plan will serve as a comprehensive guide for the City and Chamber's
economic development efforts. It will focus the efforts on recruiting the
target industries identified, provide an image (brand) for the City to be
used by many entities, outline a marketing strategy, and encompass
infrastructure and community development initiatives.
