County staff outlines economic development goals, including a future strategic plan and affordable housing strategy
Summary
Buffalo County staff summarized work on marketing, business visits, a tourism website and plans to pursue grants and develop an Economic Development Strategic Plan and an Affordable Housing Strategy; the committee noted ongoing staff coordination.
At the Feb. 5, 2026 meeting of the Buffalo County Economic Development Committee, staff provided an update on goals set in September 2025 aimed at expanding marketing and business outreach.
Dave Carlson reported progress on general marketing and business visit efforts, the creation of a property inventory form, and coordination with Vision Design Group on content for a county tourism website and Facebook page. He said the committee will seek grants as opportunities arise and intends to develop an Economic Development Strategic Plan and an Affordable Housing Strategy in the coming months.
The presentation established a staff work plan for the next several months and framed housing strategy development as a near-term priority tied to economic goals. The committee did not take formal action on the plans at the meeting; staff described the status as preparatory and ongoing.
