Economic Development Strategic Plan
Task Force Meetings
The City of Alameda has created a 16-member community Task Force to provide substantive input into the drafting of the City’s Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP). The first meeting of the Task Force will be on Monday, August 21, 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. A second Task Force meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 14, 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Both meetings will be held at Phoenix Alameda, 2315 Lincoln Avenue. (Phoenix is a new co-working space located right across the street from Alameda’s Main Public Library.) The public is invited to attend both meetings.
The EDSP will be the City’s long-term (five to ten years) roadmap for business attraction, retention, and workforce development activities, while improving the quality of life for Alameda residents and employees. The goal for the first Task Force meeting is to begin discussing the vision for economic development in Alameda.
