This requires new economic goals, community development objectives, land use regulations and actions that are crafted during the EOA process. FCS GROUP is eager to build upon the foundation of knowledge we gained from conducting your prior Economic Strategy, and our work with the Clackamas County Business and Economic Development team. ⚫ EOA Experience: FCS GROUP staff, led by Principal and Senior Economist Todd Chase, have led over 20 EOAs in Oregon over the past two decades (including Wilsonville, West Linn, Lake Oswego, Happy Valley, Sherwood and others). Todd co-authored the Oregon DLCD Industrial and Other Employment Lands Guidebook, and national publications focused on targeted economic development. Todd leads a team that provides real estate economics, land use planning, community outreach and financial analysis to help cities realize their economic potential. ⚫ Understanding Canby’s Economic Potential: Over the past few decades, Todd played a role in Canby’s development efforts, including the Canby Urbanization Strategy (1999), Pioneer Industrial Park Master Plan (2002), Canby Economic Strategy (2013) and Canby Parks/Transportation SDCs (2014), as well the Clackamas County Economic Analysis (2012- 2020). Canby is now a viable location for regional and national businesses and has emerged as a great community to live, work and play. ⚫ Connecting with Stakeholders: We provide multi-media community outreach techniques along with eye catching infographics to inform and obtain feedback from residents, businesses and public officials. ⚫ Local Knowledge: While Oregon planning requirements for EOA compliance are defined per OAR 660-009 (Goal 9 Economy), each community is given flexibility in how to create local development objectives. This is an exciting opportunity for elected officials, city staff, community residents and businesses to shape the future of Canby. ⚫ Project Commitment: As principal/economist/partner with over 34 years of experience, and with 35 staff members to address your needs, I am committed to managing this effort. FCS GROUP proposes to complete the Canby EOA for less than $50,000; and we look forward to working with the City and community stakeholders on this important project!
