*Phase 2 recommendations for the Economic Development Strategic Plan*


Earlier this year, the City of Lawrence began working with Ernst & Young
(EY) to assist in developing a community-wide economic development
strategic plan. This week, EY shared their final Phase 2 recommendations
for the Economic Development Strategy
<https://lawrenceks.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7ca5a42664e87643b2b54d343&id=beb87fe946&e=05972780ce>
.

The final recommendations detail an overall vision as well as main goals
and strategies.

   - *Vision*: Lawrence enjoys the most diverse, vibrant and progressive
   economy in the Midwest, based on a foundation of innovation, sustainability
   and inclusion, and supported by collaborative partnerships that advance the
   equitable well-being of the community.
   - *Goal 1:* Diverse Economy. We diversify the economy to strengthen the
   tax base, spur entrepreneurship and offer expanded career pathways.
   - *Goal 2:* Vibrant Economy. We create policies, programs, and
   partnerships that enhance the character and culture of the community.
   - *Goal 3:* Progressive Economy. We make intentional and innovative
   investments to make our economy more sustainable, connected, and inclusive.

Our next step is to collect additional community feedback on EY’s
recommendations before the City incorporates them into our final strategic
planning document. Lawrence residents are invited to review the strategy
and share their thoughts via a brief survey on Lawrence Listens:

.

Following the review and incorporation of survey feedback, the City will
create a final Economic Development Strategy for our community. This
strategy will reflect the current economic conditions of the Lawrence area
and include a vision and action plan to make the Lawrence economy more
vibrant and prosperous for all residents.
