Lamar County — Paris Economic Development Plan <br />Goal # 2 - Develop 500 acres of improved, approved industrial real estate <br />Economic development is ultimately a real estate transaction. The most important issue relative <br />to the "site selection" process is having an actual site. <br />12. Under the following schedule, Paris shall develop and expand a multi -use "industrial park," <br />500 acres in size, which shall be marketed exclusively to qualified primary employers. <br />A. The Task: Within one year, PEDC will purchase additional land and continue <br />development of our existing industrial park. <br />B. The Task: Within one year, the horizontal development of the Paris Industrial Park <br />shall commence and criteria for the sale or lease of the land shall be established. <br />This task shall be assigned to: A special task force created by the PEDC. <br />Goal #3 - Educate the community on the need for a comprehensive economic development <br />program <br />13. In order for Paris and Lamar County to be successful, the community must be united and <br />supportive in this effort. <br />14. Few areas have been able to implement a successful economic development program without <br />the support of the "community." <br />A. The Task: Within three months of the adoption of the Plan, the community will be <br />provided with a series of presentations regarding the need for and the content of the <br />Plan. <br />This task shall be assigned to: PEDC. <br />B. The Task: On an annual basis, the community will be invited to participate in a <br />gathering to discuss the status of Plan implementation. <br />This task shall be assigned to: PEDC. <br />Paris Economic Development Corporation Page 5 <br />
