Goals laid out to bring economic development to Idaho Falls

We hear about economic development all the time and typically associate that with bringing in more businesses.

While that is a big part of it, there are a lot of other aspects.

That’s why the city of Idaho Falls Economic Coordinator Dana Briggs laid out goals for the town in order to grow.

Idaho Falls First: Foster existing business and industry retention and growth through partnerships with local businesses.

Idaho Falls Efficient: Remove barriers to conducting business within the city of Idaho Falls.

Idaho Falls Attractive: Communicate city of Idaho Falls assets and make the city an attractive place for businesses to locate.

Idaho Falls Talented: Enable the training and development of high-quality talent pools that match the needs of local industry.

“It’s about individuals, it’s about families, it’s about providing those opportunities,” said Briggs.
