The City of Tacoma will host an open community meeting regarding the release of the Downtown Tacoma Economic Impact Analysis from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on April 8 at the Phoenix Room, Freighthouse Square, 430 E. 25th St.
To provide a blueprint for increased investment, the City of Tacoma’s Community and Economic Development Department is partnering with AngelouEconomics, http://www.angeloueconomics.com , an Austin-based economic development consulting firm, to develop an economic development strategic plan for downtown Tacoma.
AngelouEconomics’ first deliverable of the planning process is the Downtown Economic Impact Analysis. This analysis identifies the economic impact of downtown on the rest of Tacoma, Pierce County, and the state as a whole.
The community meeting on April 8 will offer the public an opportunity to view the analysis first hand, and staff from the City of Tacoma and AngelouEconomics will be available to address any questions that may arise from the presentation.
