The Palm Desert City Council appointed the Economic Development
Advisory Committee to advise the Council about strengthening our
civic economy in general, with a particular mission to suggest
creative economic initiatives. The Committee is specifically
charged with the following tasks:
1. To identify desirable economic development opportunities --
that is, developmental opportunities which are (a) economi-
cally viable; (b) environmentally sensitive; and (c) compa-
tible with Palm Desert's standing as a premier destination
resort community.
2. To inform and advise the Council on ways to implement these
opportunities.
3. To render advice on such other matters of economic signifi-
cance as the City Council or Staff may, from time to time,
request.
