· Economic Development Strategic Plan, 1988. This Plan continued the <br /> City's crucial role in infrastructure development, land use planning, public <br /> safety, and other essential City services. The Strategic Plan specifically <br /> focused on positioning Eugene as a regional center for West and <br /> Southwest Oregon. Key policies in the Strategic Plan included building on <br /> successful strategies that were implemented in the previous Action Plan <br /> and a stronger emphasis on Eugene as a regional center. <br /> <br /> · Council Committee on Economic Development, 1994. The City Council <br /> established the CCED to determine what actions, if any, the City of <br /> Eugene should take to promote economic development that benefits its <br /> citizens. The CCED recommended a number of strategies, including <br /> improve the regulatory process, assist businesses, and promote an <br /> adequate supply of buildable sites, among others. Although the City <br /> Council took action to generally support these strategies, a specific action <br /> plan did not emerge for Council consideration. <br /> <br /> · Growth Management Policies, 1998. The last economic development <br /> policy action taken by the Council was incorporated within the 1998 <br /> Growth Management Policies. Policy # 16 directed that: "Efforts to <br /> diversify the local economy and family wage jobs will focus on small, <br /> local, and environmentally sensitive business. Direct available financial <br /> and regulatory incentives to support these efforts." <br /> <br />Page 4 Recommendations July 2004 Mayor's Committee on Economic Development <br /> <br /> <br />
