INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Human Services Advisory Board
FROM: Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator
DATE: October 10, 2022
SUBJECT: Economic Development Plan
ISSUE
The City has started to create an Economic Development Plan and staff is seeking input from the
boards and commissions as part of engaging the entire community.
BACKGROUND
The City's Comprehensive Plan, Strategic Plan, Zoning, Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), other
infrastructure plans, budget, and the Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan provide vision
and strategies related to economic development. The Comprehensive Plan even includes a chapter
on economic development. One of the implementation strategies in the Comprehensive Plan is to
create an economic development plan. One of the primary goals of an economic development plan is
to ensure a strong economy and tax base for the City.
Even with the many existing plans that relate to the City's economy, creating an Economic
Development Plan provides an opportunity to review and update the City's vision for its economy and
provide additional context, options, and guidance for staff and policy makers.
INPUT ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
We would appreciate the Committee's input on the plan:
1. What are the strengths of Tukwila's economy?
2. What are the weaknesses of Tukwila's economy?
3. What are the challenges facing Tukwila's businesses?
4. What are the opportunities facing Tukwila's businesses?
5. What are your ideas to improve Tukwila's economy and tax revenue?
6. What are your ideas to improve the lives of Tukwila's residents who are working?
7. What types of businesses would you like to see less of in Tukwila?
8. What types of businesses would you like to see more of in Tukwila?
