This includes a detailed review of residential sales and rental trends as well as sales and leasing data, occupancy levels, and vacancy levels for retail, office and industrial.

The second part of the plan involves an extensive community input process. This includes surveys of both businesses and residents, focus groups, and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) sessions with both business and resident participation. The input collected from the community provided guidance to both the city and BAE toward the development of economic development strategies, goals and recommendations.

This plan also includes and action plan for marketing and business development strategies, workforce development initiatives, and physical development and redevelopment priorities, including the siting of a new municipal town center.
