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. |
