What is Economic Development?
Is all about OPPORTUNITY
To improve the community…..
It is the creation of new tax dollars to grow and diversify the local economy whereby lessening the burden on local tax payers.
![Page 5: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Economic Development is…
a PROCESS that if successful leads to employment opportunity and wealth creation and improves the Quality of Life of the town,
It’s about economic growth through existing business retention and business recruitment.
Focused on job creation
& building community wealth

Economic Development is…
Recognizing our SWAT
Capitalizing on Assets
And working on Challenges
ED is key to a communities success.

Economic Development vs. Community DevelopmentEconomic DevelopmentA process which improves the economic and cultural well-being of the peopleIs focused on job creation and building community wealth
Community DevelopmentA process which builds a desirable and sustainable communityImproves the look and feel of a community - - parks and green-space, redevelopment and beautification, and other QOL amenities
![Page 9: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The thing about community & economic development…………. There are no right or wrong answers
There are no magic formulas or silver bullets
Every town is unique
Every town must chart its own course
Today’s action -- or inaction -- dictates city future
![Page 10: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
First things first….
Priorities and vision for community future
What do you want to be
Realistic assessment of assets & liabilities
F O C U S: put chips where you can win
Don’t chase after the latest and greatest economic development fad
![Page 11: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Quality of Life -- What is it?
Good schools and low crime
Clean environment & appealing look
Community identity, diversity & PRIDE
Well managed public sector; good value for the tax dollar
Increasing property values
![Page 12: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
QoL continued…
Connectivity between the city, schools and business
A healthy balance of primary jobs, retail opportunities, and service sector and an active life/work balance
A place where people want to live, raise kids, start a business, invest, and retire
![Page 13: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Role of Local Economic Development
Do things that people assume just happen
CARE about business: Creation, Attraction, Retention and Expansion.
Tear down fences and build fences
Maximize economic opportunity for citizens
Promote community to the outside world
Build balanced economy…increase tax base
![Page 14: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Business Recruitment
More incentives required to get new companies
Everything has to be ready for companies: real estate, infrastructure, workforce
23 million people in TX today -- est. to be 50 million by year 2040.
Kyle will be the largest City in Hays County within the next 5-8 years. How can we not recruit?
Prospects are usually unreasonable -- Quick turnaround / pages and pages of data / little feedback and strict CONFIDENTIALITY
![Page 15: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“You’ve got to go out on a limb sometimes because that’s where the fruit is.” - Will Rogers
![Page 16: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Financial Incentives
A fact of life if you want to recruit high paying jobs and large capital investment
Nothing just happens by accident
Competition for quality jobs is INTENSE
Incentive wars are most competitive in metro areas with multiple communities
In Texas, local governments must put up majority of incentives
![Page 17: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Examples of Types of Incentives: free land infrastructure grants and financing for
buildings and equipment
working capital loans relocation expenses tax rebates fee waivers
Due diligence: economic
impact analysis cost/benefit
analysis letter of intent development
agreement
the public does matter

OK, Let’s recruit….but what? Primary jobs Retail businesses Tourists & retirees Creative class, or home based consultants Big companies, small companies Real estate developers & investors
![Page 21: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What are Primary Employers?
…are companies whose products or services are ultimately used in statewide, national or international markets.
And perhaps more importantly, primary employers create primary jobs
![Page 22: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What are Primary Jobs?
Primary jobs are jobs created by manufacturing, professional services, distribution/warehouse, service industry, etc. that produce or sell their services on a regional, state, national or international basis.
Non-Primary jobs (or tertiary jobs) are jobs created in the local area and are the result of the economic development (wealth created by primary jobs) ….e.g., local grocery store, service station or restaurant
![Page 23: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Primary Jobs are…
Primary jobs are the foundation of local economic development
Retail expansion is the product of economic development, not the cause of it
Local governments “profit” from economic growth and development
![Page 24: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Employment Multipliers
All Jobs Are Not Created Equally – A fast food job creates 1/10 additional job
A high-paying manufacturing job creates 2+ spin-off jobs
A job at an advanced technology company creates 7 additional jobs
One wealthy retiree creates 3 additional jobs
![Page 25: Ed&t 2014 workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558fc60b1a28ab744e8b4612/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

talent and the lack of local employment opportunities;

What do Economic Development Organizations Do? The role of an Economic Development
Organization is to organize and implement a plan of action to improve the economic well-being and quality of life of residents of a given geographic area/region.
