DESCRIPTION
The selected vendor will be responsible for delivering comprehensive economic development market analysis and business attraction strategy services. This includes project management tasks such as establishing schedules, protocols for communication, and providing regular progress updates covering tasks completed and upcoming, issues requiring city input, and budget status.
The consultant will review background information, policy documents, and relevant planning materials relating to economic development, land use, infrastructure, and market positioning. Stakeholder engagement will involve reviewing past efforts and implementing an additional process to ensure recommendations are informed by local conditions and community priorities.
A detailed economic and market analysis will be conducted to evaluate and prioritize emerging business opportunities, analyze employment and industry trends, wages, business establishment trends, and tax base compositions. Additionally, the project will include assessing tourism’s role within the economy and analyzing risks associated with overdependence on tourism. The resulting strategy will address business attraction messaging, retention and expansion programs, site development readiness, infrastructure and broadband needs, and workforce development partnerships. The initial contract term is one year.
