SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The region has never developed a regional economic development plan where the region is defined by Valley County and Meadows Valley termed ‘The West Central Mountain’s- Idaho’s Adventure
Corridor. The purpose of The West Central Mountains Economic Development Strategy is to improve economic resiliency. The West Central Mountains Economic Development Strategy was funded
through a corporate program called “America’s Best Communities” contest with some local match. The Plan contains a short term and a long-term approach. The Strategy included the topics
of (1) jobs, (2) housing, (3) transportation and infrastructure, (4) education, (5) cultural and recreational opportunities, (6) health and wellbeing, and (7) regional communication;
and
A volunteer Steering Committee that consisted of twenty-one members representing the different areas of the region helped select the consultants and guide the development of this Plan.
A team of consultants from Logan Simpson were selected for their professional expertise to facilitate the public involvement and to compile the information in the Plan. The Steering
Committee has requested that each jurisdiction adopt the Plan.
City staff has provided professional input and support to the regional collaboration effort. The staff recommendation is to consider this plan and its components within the McCall Area
Comprehensive Plan update. This process can evaluate individual components of the enclosed plan and their potential impact within the city and impact area.
Enclosed with this agenda bill is the West Central Mountain Economic Development Strategy.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that this Plan and its components be considered as a part of the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan Update.
