132 <br /> <br /> OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM <br /> PAGE 2 <br /> <br /> Integral to the process of selecting goals and objectives is <br /> the acknowledgement that there are restraints on the <br /> program and activities selected for inclusion. Besides the <br /> legal restrictions that dictate how the sales tax revenues can <br /> be spent, there is the reality that to be successful the efforts <br /> of the Corporation must be targeted. <br /> <br /> This program is founded on the retention, expansion, <br /> and attraction of industrial/manufacturing activity because <br /> that economic sector offers Paris the best potential to <br /> expand and diverisfy its economic base - thereby creating <br /> and upgrading job opporttunities and the Paris quality of <br /> life. <br /> <br /> The long term commitment to economic development <br /> should be focused in the follow'ingareas: <br /> <br /> * The retention and expansion of existing industry. <br /> * The marketing of Paris to recruit new industry. <br /> * The development of the community's infrastructure <br /> to support industry. <br /> * The development of public sentiment and support <br /> for the projects of the PEDC. <br /> <br /> <br />
