IV.ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTUPDATE
The Village Board adopted the Village’s Strategic Plan in 2014 to create a long
term vision, to define a general Village mission and to provide direction for more
detailed tactical planning and implementation. Key components of the Strategic
Plan include six overall goals established by the Village Board, of which three
deal directly with economic development throughout the Village. Discussion will
focus on how current economic development efforts match up with these goals
and explore what other opportunities exist that can further refine or expand these
efforts.
Staff will present an overview of development projects that are scheduled to take
place in 2015, discuss current economic development efforts by staff and the
Economic Development Commission, and evaluate how the Village’s economic
development efforts and budget compare to surrounding communities.
The goal of the discussion is to begin an open dialogue with the Village Board
regarding economic development efforts in the community and to ensure that
staff and the Economic Development Commission are focusing on
programs/activities that are aligned with the priorities of the Village Board. The
Economic Development Commission has been invited to the meeting to
participate in the discussion as well as appropriate Community Development
staff.
Strategic Goal elements covered by this discussion:
Business-Foster a climate for innovation and entrepreneurship
