Scottsdale Economic Development Director Danielle Casey Monday, Aug. 28 presented to city council her department’s latest efforts “to elevate, enhance and ensure Scottsdale’s sustained desirability.”
In February 2015 Scottsdale City Council engaged its economic development department into a formal five-year strategic plan derived from years of data collection involving local input from proprietors and residents alike.
Those efforts, economic development officials say, has accumulated $16.2 million in direct economic impact to the city and helped create 2,576 new jobs since February 2015.
