Economic Development Plan

The Phoenix Economic Development Plan is focused on the City of Phoenix, its leadership role and what the city and its economic development partners should do to continue to be a great place to live, work, and play. The Plan outlines a realistic and actionable set of strategies to ensure increased city livability and sustainable economic growth.

The Plan was developed in a cooperative effort as an integrating element for key stakeholder entities in their role of strengthening and supporting economic development of behalf of Phoenix. These stakeholders include the City of Phoenix, Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Downtown Phoenix Partnership, Phoenix Community Alliance and the Greater Phoenix Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
