City unveils economic blueprint

After 18 months of planning, the city introduced its first comprehensive economic development plan Wednesday.

The 19-page document, presented at the monthly meeting of the City Council’s Community Development Committee, focuses on three major areas: expanding the employment and tax bases; enriching the creative economy; and supporting local business.

Greg Mitchell, the city’s economic development director, said, "It’s the first time we’ve ever had everybody moving in the same direction." He noted that about a half-dozen local organizations contributed to the report.
