Understanding our economy and realizing your potential
The Economic Development Division helps with studies and plans that address business concerns in Pierce County. By gaining a better understanding of how local businesses affect and are affected by the regional and national economy, we can better tailor our services.
JOB CREATION
Phase III marks the completion of the Berk and Associates final report 'Pierce County Government Economic Action Agenda' that consists of six goals with action strategies. An interdepartmental team developed a work plan and timetable for full implementation.
Recent changes to zoning and growth management policies have gone a long way in protecting soils with high agricultural value but Pierce County recognizes that preserving farms requires more than preserving the land. The County's Agriculture Strategic Plan identifies policy options for retaining a vibrant agricultural industry. Learn more by viewing the Summary Report, the Technical Appendicies or the Phase I Report from American Farmland Trust.
