What is its purpose? What are the benefits? 2)Overview of common approaches to economic development by local agencies in California. 3)What is the County’s history in this sector and what do we do now? 4)Opportunity to expand our approach: coordinated economic development strategy and staff to develop and implement. 5)What would this expansion involve? How much would it cost? What would be the next steps? January 31, 2017 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor Mintues 115 2/1/2017 2 1) What is “economic development”? What is its purpose? What are the benefits? Defining Economic Development (from International Economic Development Council) The main goal of economic development is improving the economic well being of a community through efforts that entail job creation, job retention, tax base enhancements and quality of life. January 31, 2017 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor Mintues 116 2/1/2017 3 “Economic Development is the creation of wealth in which community benefits are realized. It is more than a jobs program, it’s an investment in growing your economy and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.” “At its heart, economic development is about building healthy economies in order to have healthy communities.” Definitions from the California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED) One More Description from CALED “(Economic development) is a process of deliberate intervention in the normal economic growth cycle to speed up the process and optimize impact. Economic development is a concerted effort in cities and counties to influence the direction of private sector investment toward opportunities that can lead to sustained economic growth. Types of “sustained” growth (economic) developers are typically looking for include businesses and industries that provide living wages for the workforce as well as profitable entrepreneurial opportunities that provide tax revenues in industries with projected future growth.” January 31, 2017 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor Mintues 117 2/1/2017 4 Increased Tax Base. Additional revenue provided by economic development supports, maintains, and improves local infrastructure, such as roads, parks, libraries, and emergency medical services. Job Development, Retention, and Attraction. Economic development provides better wages, benefits, and opportunities for advancement. Business Retention. Businesses feel appreciated by the community and, in turn, are more likely to stay in town, contributing to the economy. Economic Diversification. A diversified economic base helps expand the local economy and reduces a community’s vulnerability to a single business sector. Value of Economic Development (examples) Source: CALED Self-sufficiency. A stronger economic base means public services are less dependent on intergovernmental influences and alliances, which can change with each election. Productive Use of Property. Property used for its “highest and best use” maximizes the value of that property. Improved Quality of Life. More local tax dollars and jobs raise the economic tide for the entire community, including the overall standard of living of the residents. Recognition of Local Products. Successful economic development often occurs when locally produced goods are consumed in the local market to a greater degree.
