SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Since September 2009, the City of McCall has been defining, prioritizing, funding and implementing economic development activities. More recently, the City of McCall has been an active
partner in the planning of a regional economic development strategy, along with Valley County, the cities of Cascade and Donnelly, the Idaho Council of Governments (formerly Sage Community
Resources), the Idaho Department of Commerce, the University of Idaho, and other interested stakeholders. A summary of these planning efforts to date, including the most recent regional
economic development proposals, may be reviewed at http://www.valleyextension.org/march_21/2033/.
Additional information about the ongoing regional efforts and potential next steps is provided in the attached memo from Wim Braak, University of Idaho Extension. Also attached are the
March 21 presentations from two groups, focusing on business expansion and retention (BEAR Program), and inspiring homegrown talent (Business Plan Competition and micro-loan program).
Presentations regarding marketing the region and eliminating disincentives were made on March 21, but the materials are not available for distribution.
The next regional economic development meeting is scheduled for May 11. The agenda for that meeting includes establishing an organizational structure and implementation plan for the
proposed projects.
