As a subset of these nine
key goals and
recommendations, 45
policies, and 21 related
actions are also articulated
in the General Plan.
Through these policies and
actions, the City aims to
develop a robust mix of
land uses that will support
the City's fiscal
sustainability, decrease
the need for residents to
make long commutes, create a thriving
downtown that remains a focal point of
community life and enhance Morgan Hill's
appeal as a tourism destination.
The City must strategically allocate its
resources, which is not unique when
compared with other governmental
agencies, private sector businesses, or
individual households. To this end, this
Economic Blueprint establishes the City’s
current priorities
for the
implementation of
Economic Development goals. This document is
not intended to replace the
Economic Development Element of
the General Plan, nor is it intended
to limit the goals and aspirations
set forth in the Plan. Rather, this
Economic Blueprint lays the
groundwork for today’s focus to
achieve economic development
goals. It is also intended to provide
clarity about the City’s aspirations
for potential developers,
companies, and investors who may
wish to do business in Morgan Hill.
The General Plan establishes land use priorities
for the City for the next 18 years. It articulates
a common vision to maintain quality of life,
engage in economic development, grow
tourism, strive for fiscal sustainability, create
high quality planned development, and
preserve habitat, the natural environment and
viable agriculture. The Economic Blueprint
provides focus for these aspirations and further
defines strategies to achieve economic
prosperity.
