The City Charter requires that all City boards, committees and commissions submit to the City Council an annual report describing each entity's activities and accomplishments. The subject report summarizes the activities of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) for the year ending September 30,2004.
The Long Beach City Council initially established the EDC in 1973 to advise and recommend to the City Council and the City Manager on matters pertaining to activities affecting economic development within the City.
The current Commission membership includes a number of dedicated business, education and community leaders who are singular in their commitment to the success of the City's economic development initiatives (a Commission membership roster is attached). Members of the Commission provided valuable input in development of the Long Beach Strategic Plan 2010. As recommended in the Strategic Plan, the Commission is currently overseeing the development of a citywide Economic Development Strategic Plan, now known as the Jobs and Business Strategy.
