Purpose: To provide a final report on the work of the Economic Development Strategic Plan
Update Work Group.
Background: On April 18, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners appointed a citizen
committee to update the 1989 Economic Development Strategic Plan. The group received a
charge to update the 1988 Data Scan, to produce an environmental scan of existing programs, to
review the 1989 Plan and identify areas of accomplishment and areas that need additional work,
to promote a broad discussion of major economic development issues, and, finally, to prepare and
recommend an Updated Strategic Plan
Recommendation: The Manager recommends that the Commissioners receive the Updated
Strategic Plan and adopt it to provide guidance for Orange County economic development
activities.
