Conclusion
The Economic Blueprint identifies four
industries that are key to Morgan Hill’s
future growth and further fiscal
sustainability. By focusing on these areas of
opportunity, the Economic Blueprint is
intended to generate jobs, investment, and
economic vitality, while providing goods
and services to the community and new tax
revenues for the City.
The Economic Blueprint focuses on
actionable items that the City can influence
such as land use and policy decisions that
remove unnecessary barriers, provide clear
intentions, and align partners and
Champions (outlined in Strategies and
Actions).
In an effort to track progress of the
Blueprint efforts, a set of Economic
Indicators have been identified that will
allow the community to evaluate if
economic prosperity is improving. The
measures of success are a set of economic
indicators that are commonly used by
industries that track the health of the
economy, including unemployment, jobs,
vacancy rates, tax revenue, and other
economic indicators.
In order to be successful in achieving the
goals of the Economic Blueprint,
collaborative and strategic efforts will be
required to maintain the community’s
sustainability. There is a significant
opportunity for partner organizations to
embrace the document and align their
resources in a manner that furthers our
collective efforts. Moving forward, the
implementation strategy will aim to:
➢
Strengthen existing partnerships
wherever possible and look to identify
new strategic partnerships
➢
Develop local policies and procedures
necessary to support change
➢
Align policy decisions with the Economic
Blueprint wherever possible
➢
Provide updates to City Council on
activities supporting the Economic
Blueprint
➢
Recognize the Economic Blueprint is a
community effort
➢
Share in the prosperity and success
