Creating Economic Prosperity
Although Yuba City is seeing investment in new commercial developments, the current and future economic base is facing challenges for healthy expansion and growth with the downturn in the local, state and national economy. Creating economic prosperity for a community requires focus and diligence on changing the economic structure, creating a quality business climate and attracting/expanding job generating businesses.
In March 2008 the City appointed an Economic Development Advisory Group to embark on a planning process which would result in a strategic direction for the City’s economic development efforts. The key to the process was involvement of 24 private and public-sector stakeholders, passionate about the community and representing key areas of the local economy – industry, small business/tourism, agriculture, education, health care and construction.
The process and results were driven by these stakeholders working in teams to address the physical, economic, social and political environments that support and/or challenge economic diversification and sustainability for the City.
The Economic Development Strategy highlights the Advisory Group’s process, recommended key initiatives and focuses on a work plan for implementing the strategic initiatives.
