Economic Development Committee
The Economic Development Committee is a twelve-member advisory committee tasked with representing various citizen groups and their interests as part of the City Council’s greater discussion of economic development, its design, and its direction. The Committee is responsible for organizing an inclusive process for assessing community needs and priorities and providing the City Council with guidance via a proposed economic strategic plan.
Members of the Economic Development Committee are nominated by staff for appointment by the City Council. Staff encourages members of the community to submit applications for nomination, and seek to find individuals from various citizen groups, including but not limited to historic preservationists, planners, park supporters, the business community, school districts, media, nonprofits, county representatives and property owners.
