Council prioritizes economic diversification and tourism in strategic plan
Summary
City Manager Cox told the council the Economy is Priority One, urging efforts to 'Pursue Diversification Primary Jobs and Investments' and to seek expanded retail, entertainment, and tourism development as part of the city's growth strategy.
City Manager Cox presented the council's Priority One economic objectives at the May 28 strategic planning meeting, framing economic development around diversification of primary jobs and new retail or entertainment offerings to attract visitors and investors. Cox listed specific aims to "Pursue Diversification Primary Jobs and Investments" and to "Activate Development Pillars and Tourism."
Council members and staff framed these as multi-department efforts: Community Development will coordinate development pillars and potential CRA uses, while the finance and public works teams will align capital projects to support business expansion. The presentation was informational; the council did not vote on new economic incentives at the session.
