Economic Development Planning

Planwest's economic development planning approach emphasizes the identification of community attributes, resources and values. A detailed analysis, based on these combined findings, can reveal untapped opportunities and assets, providing informed direction for improving business and employment opportunities.

We work to establish a community's distinct advantages by providing:

An objective assessment of economic development goals
An inventory of all community assets, relevant to economic development
A short list of features that would be most attractive to new or growing businesses
A customized strategy to attract or retain business
An allocation of the resources that will keep local business growing
A community-specific "brand" or market niche
