NPEDC Defines its role
In an effort to clarify the difference between the North Port EDC and the city's Business and Economic Development Advisory Board, the North Port EDC Board has clearly defined its role as follows:
The North Port EDC will:
Facilitate projects that are developed by the NPEDC. This includes the continuation of the "Project Development" and "ACTION" programs. These programs focus on developing our community resources and developing economic metabolism for the city. As a result of these programs activity occurs which focuses on specific, defined outcomes.
Connect economic development prospects with community resources. An example would be to arrange meetings between the prospect and community leaders to discuss the assets of the city. In this area, we are a resource to the City of North Port's Economic Development Division.
Advocate for economic development to the city. This entails an open dialogue with the city regarding obstacles that stand in the way of economic development and solutions that address those obstacles.
Refer business leads to the City of North Port's Economic Development Division and follow up with the City to obtain the results of the referral.
The role has been added to the website.
