business growth, a competitive wage scale, suitable housing, a stable population, and fosters and preserves a high

What is Economic Development?
Economic Development centers on the development of business, industry, job growth, and income in a community.
The creation of jobs and career options for all ages and education levels help communities grow and prosper, and

Quality and good paying jobs are some one of the essential goals of economic development efforts. This job
creation is accomplished with the assistance of economic development organizations working in cooperation with
private industry and retail businesses through partnerships of local, state and federal government programs. These
efforts together with the local business and city’s leadership team, all help to promote and sustain a vigorous
economy and a solid commerce base.
