What is Economic Development? • The process of creating wealth

through the mobilization of human, financial, capital, physical and natural resources to generate marketable goods and services.

• “The economic developer’s role is to influence the process for the benefit of the community through expanding job opportunities and tax base.” International Economic Development Council

Page 15: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

How does Economic Development Work?

It is the process by which new dollars are infused into a local economy by primary

employers.

Page 16: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

What are Primary Employers?

• Those companies whose products or services are ultimately used in statewide, national or international markets.

• And perhaps more importantly, primary employers create primary jobs.

Page 17: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

What are Primary Jobs?

• Primary jobs are jobs created by manufacturing, professional services, distribution/warehouse, service industry, etc., that produce or sell their services on a regional, state, national or international basis.

• Non-primary jobs are jobs created in the local area and are the result of a certain level of economic development…e.g., local grocery store, service station or restaurant.

Page 18: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

Primary jobs are about the flow of money within a community

• Primary jobs are the foundation of local economic development.

• Retail expansion is the product of economic development, not the cause of it.

• Local governments “profit” from economic growth and development.

Page 59: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

Public Art Plan Background

Cultural Arts has been noted as a priority by City Council.

In 2014, the City Council approved the Cultural Arts Strategic Plan & Implementation Guide.

Public Art Plan was initiated in Sept 2015 and is anticipated to be adopted by City Council in Nov 2016.

Page 60: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

What does a Public Art Plan do?

• Define the City’s vision for public art, in accordance with previously adopted policy documents and further public input

• Develop a comprehensive, multi-year plan for public art projects

• Create an implementation guide

Page 61: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

Key Recommendations

• Adopt a new vision for public art. • Pursue near-term opportunities at the

performing arts center, festival site, greenways and airport.

• Collaborate with City agencies in planning, preliminary engineering and design processes to explore future opportunities in projects.

• Create flexible pools of funding for public art initiated by the City, using revenues generated by sales taxes and hotel taxes.

Page 62: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

Key Recommendations • Establish partnerships with cultural

institutions and galleries from the region to support temporary public art exhibitions.

• Provide guidelines and funding incentives for developers and community associations.

• Revise the Capital Donations Policy to provide more specific guidance for public art and memorials.

Page 63: Sugar Land 4B Corporation

Community Engagement What We Learned from the Survey

By and large, the most important goal in people’s minds is placemaking … how public art can activate public spaces.

This is reflected survey respondents’ priority goals: • “create memorable, meaningful

places,” (69%) • “anchor activity centers” such as Town

Center (54%) • “create whimsy and delight in

everyday places” (49%)
