Overview

While focusing on creating employment opportunities for under and unemployed populations, the overall objective is to integrate economic development within a larger sustainability agenda in ways that will be supported by government agencies, key business stakeholders, and large segments of the civic sector.

This sustainable economic development approach presumes that job opportunity creation is dependent not only on the retention and recruitment of new firms and industries, but on investments in human and natural capital, on the removal of obstacles between job opportunities and underserved populations, and on appropriate and integrated public transportation, land use, environmental, and social service policies. The approach must both improve environmental quality while promoting a more equitable distribution of income. And it must be sustainable over the long term.
