Economic Development
Supporting and expanding existing businesses and attracting new businesses contributes to economic development in key ways, including helping businesses create jobs, encouraging entrepreneurship, expanding and diversifying the tax base, and improving quality of life with new services and amenities.
Workforce-development programs ensure residents can successfully compete for employment opportunities and lead to economic prosperity throughout our shared communities.
A variety of factors can improve quality of life, such as a thriving downtown, green and open space and a variety of transportation choices.
