Economic Development: Ald. Juergens Urges Focus on Development Goals

(audioblogger is pending.)

Last night at the Evansville Economic Development meeting, Ald. Fred Juergens indicated that in trying to review what the Economic Develoment committee should be doing, he reviewed the Smart Growth Plan dated June 15, 2005. He found that other than expressing nice feelings of neighborliness and good will, the Smart Growth Plan does not get specific about what they should be doing.

Mr. Juergens spoke of his personal hope that "Green Development" would be the focus of the business that was sought for Evansville in order to add to the impact of the biodiesel plant and possible crushing facility.

Without having some goals in mind, it would be hard to get to a specific budget that would produce results. And the committee noted that time is of the essence in producing a budget number and moved to schedule a special meeting to get this done.
