Raising the Bar

For your convenience, the Raising the Bar Case Statement and Recommendations are available in a downloadable pdf format.


In August of 2008, the EDC Board of Directors approved the formation of three task forces to assist the organization with strategic planning for 2009. The task force chairs were charged with the development of the case statment and recommendations for the EDC to work in unison with our local and state governments to help our community become more competitive in the area of quality job creation. When the national economic crisis escalated, the EDC organized an Economic Growth Summit held on October 29,	2008. At the Summit, the Task Force Chairs presented their work in progress. The Case Statement and recommendations were then approved at the November Board meeting. This body of work will help guide the Straegic Plan for the EDC in 2009. As an investor, or potential investor, review these recommendations and feel free to contact EDC staff or Board members with any questions or comments you may have. Get involved in our community’s journey to economic recovery in 2009!
