DEVELOPMENT OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
The City is seeking a qualified economic development consultant firm to prepare a
citywide Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP). The EDSP will provide a framework to increase
the Citys tax base by enhancing the business climate and creating higher-paying jobs. The Citys
ultimate goal is to sustain and expand its economic base in order to provide for a high quality of life for
all residents.
Ideally, the plan will set out a key set of strategies, with action items, that build upon the Citys current
economic asset base, identify how to overcome its challenges, facilitate the growth and expansion of
existing industry and business sectors, and promote key redevelopment corridors as integral to the
Citys economic future. These activities will increase employment and position the City as a great place
to live, learn, work, and play.
