| 20260126 | LA County | Alhambra | City Council | Item | 5. PRESENTATION REGARDING THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA DRAFT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN – F2M26-23 In April 2025, the City Council approved the 2025 Strategic Plan with Goal Three: Create a Strong Financial Base and Strong Economic Base (Economic Development). One of the goal’s objectives is to develop an Economic Development Action Plan. The Plan creates a comprehensive and integrated approach to economic development that strengthens the City’s economic base. Alhambra’s Economic Development Action Plan provides a strategic framework to guide the City’s economic growth and resiliency over the next three to five years. The Action Plan creates a vision that stems from the community's values, its collective sense of local economic resiliency, and consensus on a desired future. The guiding principles that informed and shaped the creation of the Action Plan are centered on making Alhambra a great place to live, work, do business, and visit. In combination with the guiding principles, the Plan highlights four distinct business districts and the vision of development in those areas in the future. The Plan also takes into consideration evolving demographic trends, economic indicators, and the City’s unique geographic strengths. For next steps, Staff will move forward with community outreach events and opportunities for local businesses and stakeholders for comments and review of the plan. Following community outreach, staff will return to Council for recommendation to adopt the Plan. Recommended Action: City Council receive and file the report, or direct staff as deemed appropriate on the final deliverables of the draft Economic Development Action Plan. | January 26, 2026 LA County Alhambra City Council Item #5 |
