Engaging Community - Creating Change

Principles for High-Performing Economy

o Competiveness – take stock of its competitive advantageo Comprehensive Strategy - understand the interrelationships

between economic development strategies and other strategies--such as education, environmental enhancement, housing, and recreation

o Global Economy – building the capacity to sell to world marketso Industrial Focus – keen awareness of the key sectors or clusters in

the economy, and their performance is tracked closelyo Regional Collaboration – community’s economy is greatly

influenced by the larger region of which it is a part

Principles for High-Performing Economy (cont)

o Partnerships – strongest development programs rest upon solid partnerships among local organizations

o Equity – investing in a way that reduces economic disadvantageo Measurement and Evaluation – measure their outputs and

evaluate the reasons for success or failureo Learning – maintain a posture of flexibility that makes it easier to

put new ideas into operation

Accelerate to a High-Performing Economy• What networks/organizations (including your own) are

working on your priority, and what are they doing?– Statewide and regional economic development organizations – marketing,

recruitment, retention, expansion, assistance, exporting and entrepreneur activities focused specifically on industries that pay higher than Spokane County average wages

– Local government – streamlined permitting, infrastructure investments, public safety, environmental protection, utilities, economic and community development, workforce analysis

– Universities and Community Colleges – development of curriculum and training programs that are closely aligned with innovations industries and economic growth

– Area Legislators – support of statewide regulations and incentives that enhance and spur continued economic growth and development

Accelerate to a High-Performing Economy• What gaps exist within the priority area?

– Companies looking for new sites or looking to expand are choosing other locations with strong and efficient infrastructure, a reliable and trained workforce and a competitive regulatory and incentive environment

– Transportation investments may not be timely and are dependent on local funds for arterial improvements and state funds to complete unfinished highways and enhancements to I90

– Funding for education and training is not at the appropriate level to meet industry standards or regional requirements

– A port district could provide local facility and infrastructure investments via a local taxing authority, but this needs to pass by a majority vote of Spokane County residents

Accelerate to a High-Performing Economy• How can Priority Spokane add value to this effort?

– Assist in advocating for local investments in infrastructure and job training programs– Continue efforts focused on a healthier regulatory environment with changes that

positively affect taxpayers and grow business– Ensure that metrics are agreed upon and regularly measured; i.e., Community

Indicators

• Would Priority Spokane be successful in acquiring funding in this area or be a beneficial addition to other efforts to secure funding?

– By supporting our regional agenda which addresses changes to existing legislation and requests for new policies that will enhance the Spokane community’s quality of life and economic climate.

possible here?The Road Map Project is a community-wide effort

aimed at improving education to drive dramatic improvement in student achievement from cradle to college and career in South King County and South Seattle.
