Doc ID 2672 Packet Pg. 7 7.a DISCUSSION ITEM September 25, 2019 To: Central Puget Sound Economic Development District Board From: Jason Thibedeau, Principal Economic Development Manager Subject: Greater Seattle Partners Regional Prosperity Plan IN BRIEF Brian McGowan, CEO of Greater Seattle Partners, will discuss the Regional Prosperity Plan, which will guide the organization’s efforts to coordinate and lead regional promotion and economic growth over the next three years. DISCUSSION The region’s economy is diverse and fast-growing, but is also facing unprecedented challenges. Growth and prosperity have been unequally distributed. Not every person has had the opportunity to prosper, and some of our largest employers are struggling to find talent for jobs that remain unfilled. The region faces the threat of global competition as other regions aggressively pursue the same businesses, jobs, and investments sought here. In response, a coalition of private- and public-sector leaders, led by Challenge Seattle CEO and former Governor Christine Gregoire, launched Greater Seattle Partners in 2018. This new regional partnership was designed to coordinate and lead regional promotion and economic growth problem solving, while serving as a force multiplier for economic development partners throughout the region. During the past year, GSP has formed, hired initial primary staff, conducted extensive strategy development, and begun implementation. Now GSP is ready to take a major step forward by dramatically increasing its capacity to deliver results for the region, implementing this proactive approach to driving and sustaining regional prosperity – for all. The Regional Prosperity Plan describes goals and strategies designed to: • build the region’s global identity to attract new investment and advance trade, • attract and retain talent to strengthen our regional competitiveness, and • elevate regional economic development to achieve inclusive economic growth.
