CONSENT CALENDAR Lynn M. Harris
DATE: April 9, 1991
SUBJECT: Draft Economic Development Strategy
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
The creation of this Economic Development Strategy is in response to a
specific action item task outlined in the City's Internal Strategy Plan, and
in response to City Council's request for definition of Santa Clarita's new
Economic Development Program.
The Strategic Plan provides an overview of economic trends, strengths,
weaknesses, and opportunities. The Strategy is designed around four broad
initiative areas: 1) Retention; 2) Image/Identity Marketing; 3) Attraction;
and 4) Environmental Infrastructure Investments, as is supported by specific
action plans to implement the Strategy.
The Strategy is based on input from two public information resource group
meetings held in August, 1990, and January, 1991, a City Council Study Session
held in February, and review and comments from City staff and others
throughout the community. These comments and review are reflected in the
attached Draft Economic Development Strategy as submitted for consideration by
City Council. Any comments or questions should be directed to
Michael Haviland, Economic Development Coordinator.
City Council review draft Economic Development Strategy and direct staff to
reschedule for adoption at next City Council meeting.
