Economic Vision and Values
Current News/Features
On November 15, 2005, the City Council adopted the 2005-2007 Policy Agenda outlining the policy initiatives Council wishes to undertake during the two-year term. One of the policy goals included under the mission of “Improve Economic Health” is the development of an economic plan.

As a foundation for the economic plan, Council members recognized the need to develop an economic vision and a set of economic core values. Members of the Economic Vitality and Sustainability Action Group (EVSAG) provided recommendations that assisted Council in this effort.
