The Economic Blueprint is designed to guide our community's economic development efforts -- leveraging existing assets, strengthening foundations and defining the key steps that the region's leaders must take to transform a common vision to reality. The Economic Blueprint is about generating more wealth in the Tucson region with opportunities and access for all.
The Blueprint's process began by examining the region's leading economic trends and opportunities. A comprehensive SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis of the region was completed, outlining in detail the region's economic health and path to the future. Then the process moved to a more detailed analysis of the region's economic performance, its position relative to key competitor regions, its cost competitiveness for different opportunities and a study of the industries and clusters most likely to bear economic fruit in the future. The final step evaluated the region and its selected target industries and clusters from a business selection competitiveness standpoint.
Just as important as quantitative research, the Blueprint also reflects the hopes, dreams and aspirations of our diverse population and business perspectives. Nearly 6,000 Tucsonans were engaged in the process through focus groups, interviews, surveys and presentations. Read more about community inclusion.
Throughout the Blueprint planning process we were told:
- Tucson will be most successful responding to a common vision that leverages resources for all citizens and businesses.
- High-skilled/high-wage jobs, career growth potential and good healthcare and other benefits are critically important for all.
- Giving our children access to quality education and training existing workers for higher-skilled jobs are paramount to the region's economic success.
- We cherish our unique cultural assets and the breathtaking Sonoran Desert. We do not want to sacrifice quality of life for unplanned growth.
- Bold leadership from business/community leaders and elected officials will be key to realizing our vision.
