DRAFT Paris Economic Development Corporation Business Plan - 2012-2414 I' R I S Introductian In 2011 PEDC Board of Directors engaged the Paris and Lamai• County, Texas community leadership in a community-wide strategic planning process. This process included identifying our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) and analyzing 7 Critica] Issues related to our community's future. As a result of the proeess, PEDC engaged Regionnovate, Inc. to facilitate a "roadmap" to chari a course for future econoanic developanent of not only Paris, but the broader Red River Region. This three-year PEDC business plan takes into consideratian the origina3 SWOT analysis and aligns with the priorities and 7 critical issnes in the community-wide strategic plan. Implementing this business plan wili be a focused priority of the PEDC staff and board from 2012 through 2014, and beyond. PEDC Business Plan 2012-2414 Aligning with 7 Critical Issues Global Manufacturing & Diversity Retaii Development Strategy Inifiianve Issue 1. Develop long-range plans to ensvre abundant Issue 7. Improve community image on water for our targeted industries. diversity. Issue 2. Implement aggressive business retention and expansion programs and other actions ko decrease the risk of closure of our top employers. Issue 3. Develop long- and shore-range plans to address aging infrastructure (water, sewer, roads, etc.) to ensure we are "shovel ready" for new industry expansions. Civic Leadership & Public Policy Issue 4. Enhance the depth and consistency of the local leadership pooJ with a shared vision of our future. lssue 5. Advocate for, and develop aggressive plans to improve the transportation system, including Tssue 6. Cultivate cooperation and priorities of four-lanes for Highway 24 to Commerce, Goordination between and among which will provide better access to Tnterstate 30 and goveming bodies (City, County, School ather improvemenis as they are identified. Distriets, ete.) and civic organizations. Moving From Traditional Industrial Recruiting to an Innovation-Based Strategy Historically, PEDC has conducted a very traditional industrial recruiting effort, advertising in regional and national publications and writing proposals iyT response to prospects from the State of Texas or from site selectors. PEDC has participated in a regional marketing alliance called the NE Texas Economic Alliance that inc2udes Commerce, Mt. Pleasant, Sulphur Springs, Athens, Palestine and Kilgore. Since the 1990s economic development results have been minimat. More recently Paris has benefted from intermittent growth of existing businesses. It is easier to keep and grow existing companies than recruit new. AEDC will continue ta visit, listen to and support our existing empIoyers to retain and expand their local production, jobs and capital investment. _ 1 17 DRAFT Paris Economic Development Corporation Business Plan - 2012-2414 In the last 20 years the number of new industry expansion projects has steadily decreased while ihe competition and incentive packages offered by communities has become much more aggressive, Paris cannot compete with the resources that Iarge cities and urban regions can put on the table. C}ur advantages must be based on leveraging our assets (i.e. water, warkforce talent and proximity to the Dallas Metroplex) as well as creating a competitive advantage through a unique Rural Innovation Initiative. This Rural Innovation Iniiiative is not only unique in the State of Texas, but also nationally. PEDC can differentiate Paris and Lamar County fram the competition through innovation and by striving to build coalitions and partnerships to further the Red River Region brand. Community/Civic Engagernent Community leadership and cooperation among governing bodies, as welt as community organizations are two of the 7 critical issues. They are natural results af implementing both the Roadmap strategies and the diversity initiative. Bngaging community and civic leaders in cammunity-wide strategic ptanning, as well as economic development evolves over time and occurs as a process. The PEDC staff and baard conrinually talk to, listen ta and get input from a wide range of stakeholders. We will include those who want to have a say and engage in the process to support and build our local and regional econoxny. Ultimately, we desire broad-based ownership, support and engagement across a broad cross- section of the community, wIvch we believe are critical to our econornic development success. We initially formed a project steering committee and four working groups to develap the manufacturing roadmap. These groups met between July and October 2011 to plan, identify and recommend strategies to grow our economy through new jobs and investment. Each group had specific tasks and functioms that resulted in the Roadmap recommendations presented by Mr. Richard Seline. The five implementation strategies that rnake up this business plan provide numerous commwnity and leadership engagement apportunities for a wide range af people in Paris and Lamar County, as well as the region. PEDC will communicate the activities and results publicly as we go through the pracess and keep our efforts on the coznmunity's front burner. The diversity initiative, which launched zn December 2011, ties back to the community-wide strategic plan and addresses one of the 7 critical issues. We are working to involve many people fram across the community, and wil l have an advisory corn.inittee as we engage with the contractor, Executive Diversity Services. We will assemble the advisory committee and manage that process to its completion in 2012. Tn the 2012-14 PEDC Business Plan all of these efforts will be coordinated and dovetail together, demonstrating results tied back to our community-wide strategic planning process. _ _ AFT DR. Paris Economic Development Corporation Business Plan - 2012-2014 ~1 R I ` s /t~ •i~r ~ „ , . r Implementing the Roadmap for Paris and the Red River Region The process of deveioping the Roadmap inciuded four working groups that included business, education and civic leaders from Paris and Larnar County.

Entrepreneur Eco-System 4, Talent Pipeline The resuIt of the process is a Raadmap which includes recammendations and action steps in three major categories: 1.
