Strategic Economic Development Plan Underway
Prince George contracted with Basile Baumann Prost & Associates, Inc. in January for services related to the creation of the County’s first Strategic Economic Development Plan. The Plan, due to be complete in June, will present strategies to develop target industries and market Prince George County, and for each strategy will outline specific steps for implementation. The Plan will answer the “how do we get there?” question and will be based on long- and short-term goals.
