EDA reviews draft City Council strategic plan and seeks action plan to track priorities
Summary
The EDA reviewed the draft City Council strategic plan on March 20; Mayor Greg Zgutowicz and Council Member John Ganfield incorporated EDA feedback and staff said an action plan will be drafted to track priorities and guide staff efforts.
The Hanover Economic Development Authority discussed the City Council’s draft strategic plan at its March 20 meeting and affirmed that EDA priorities—particularly those that foster commercial development and redevelopment—were reflected in the draft.
Mayor Greg Zgutowicz and Council Member John Ganfield reviewed Council’s core strategies and high‑priority goals and confirmed that EDA feedback on priorities had been included in Council discussion. City Administrator Jennifer Nash said staff will use the plan and EDA priorities to focus efforts within available resources.
EDA members talked about the value of tracking progress and suggested creating an action plan so stakeholders can see tasks and timelines on paper. Nash said developing such an action plan is on her to‑do list and that she is targeting completion to help the board monitor progress on priority items.
The discussion produced no formal motions on the strategic plan; it concluded with direction for staff to draft an action plan that ties EDA items to Council priorities and clarifies responsibilities and timelines.
