The Drafting of an Economic Development Strategic Plan for the City of San Bernardino
Financial Impact:
Unknown
Motion: Direct the City Manager's Office to initiate the development of an Economic
Development Strategic Plan.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
None.
Background:
As a consequence of the current economic recession, the City of San Bernardino has suffered
economically. High unemployment, a declining business base, a stagnant tax base and a
declining business presence has diminished the City's economic fortune.
Many cities across the nation have suffered the same plight as the City of San Bernardino but
some of them have had the foresight to develop an economic development strategic plan to focus
their limited resources and marshal together community leaders to improve their community's
economic condition.
