Economic Development & Planning
The resilience of a community in large part depends on a diverse
economic base that is supportive of emerging technologies. The
developing green business sector and smart growth initiatives are
economic opportunities for which communities must plan in order
to reap the social, environmental and economic benefits. Also,
encouraging environmental and social stewardship within the
local business sectors, including the tourism, entertainment, real
estate, and construction industries, promotes long-term stability
and competitiveness of our local economy.
Goals:
• Improve the city’s overall economic health and maintain
economic bond rating.
• Diversify the city’s business base and use sustainable
initiatives to improve coordination between economic
development and workforce development.
• Maintain neighborhood character and satisfaction with
quality of life.
• Maximize Miami Beach as a destination brand.
