Summary

On Sept. 17, the Economic Development Committee reviewed SWOT analyses for five proposed economic development priorities and asked staff to turn discussion notes into short priority descriptions for future Council consideration. C.A. Fiorelli provided updates and facilitated the Committee’s discussion of infrastructure, business development, housing, events and pre-disaster planning.
The committee emphasized that the five priorities are interconnected and that planning should treat them together rather than in isolation. Staff was tasked to draft two to three sentences describing each priority and return the drafts to the Committee for review; the Committee asked staff to then align the priorities with the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) and identify grant and funding opportunities. No motions or formal votes were taken at the meeting.
