Economic Development Strategic Plan 2023
An economic strategy for Sandy: What is it and why is it important?
An Economic Development Strategic Plan is a tool to articulate and realize our community's economic vision and take control of our economic future. At the heart of an Economic Development Strategic Plan is a roadmap to achieving this economic vision, typically in a 5- to 15-year time horizon.
Sandy's Economic Development Strategic Plan accomplishes the following goals:
- Establishes a baseline against which to assess Sandy’s economy by providing a snapshot of the socioeconomic characteristics of the city over time, and compared to the county, region, or peer cities.
- Identifies and convene partners and stakeholders in Sandy’s economic future and negotiates roles, capacities, and coordination.
- Articulates a diverse, sustainable, equitable and place-based vision for Sandy’s economic future and establish a roadmap for how to achieve it.
- Signals intention on the part of the city and its partners regarding economic policy to provide assurance to potential investors and developers.
- Facilitates implementation by identifying priority actions to develop near-term momentum and excitement for mid- and longer-term interventions.
