Collaborative, Cluster-based Economic Development Strategy
|
|
The Monterey County Business Council, in partnership with the Overall Economic Development Commission (OEDC), the County's Office of Economic Development, and funding from the Board of Supervisors, recognized inherent risks in the County's economy and launched the Competitive Clusters (C2) initiative in March 2003. C2 is a strategic project designed to implement near-term economic development action as well as provide a compelling economic vision and strategic framework to guide development efforts in the future. The effort is directed by a Leadership Council, comprised of private and public sector leaders drawn from across the County.
Modeled after successful approaches in many other regions and using proven methods for collaboration, the C2 project brings together representatives from the County's key clusters, their support institutions, government and academia. Fundamental to the success of the project will be the mobilization of private sector leaders and the development of concrete action steps to improve cluster performance and to enhance the competitiveness of the County.
