Organizational Review: The third phase of this project examined current <br />operations, best practices in economic development structures and funding, <br />and current marketing efforts related to promoting San Marcos as <br />place to live, do business, and visit. The focus of this report was Economic <br />Development San Marcos. <br /> <br />Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy: The Strategy utilizes all <br />previously collected research to provide a blueprint for achieving Greater San <br />Marcos’ immediate and long-term goals. This document integrates existing <br />local plans and strategies relevant to the recommended goals, ob <br />specific action steps needed for San Marcos to realize its vision. <br /> <br />Implementation Plan: The final and perhaps most important step in this <br />process centers on how the Strategy will be put into practice. There will be a <br />specific game plan created to address each goal in the Strategy. Benchmarks <br />and metrics will be assigned, and a one-year priority action plan will be <br />followed with plans for the following years. The Implementation Plan will <br />enable local stakeholders to successfully activate the Strategy’s <br />recommendations. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />At the end of the planning process, Greater San Marcos will have– for the first time – <br />a comprehensive regional strategy uniting local governments and constituencies in <br />support of positive community and economic change. The implementation of this <br />Strategy will bring together Greater San Marcos’ economic development for many <br />years to come. <br />Final Strategy <br />September 2009 2 <br /> <br />
