The City of Imperial Economic Development Strategic Plan provides a foundational understanding of the local and regional (defined as Imperial County) economy and basis for which a community proceeds to create/generate economic investment.  This plan also provides recommendations regarding specific projects and economic development initiatives that are both tangible and quantifiable as part of the implementation phase.  The City of Imperial Economic Development Strategic Plan is organized to provide demographic/statistical information and specific initiative/project recommendations. 

This Economic Development Strategic Plan is a product of the community, its leaders (both civic and business) and independent resources and research.  It is based on the premise that the community desires an economically vibrant future in which there are multiple career, business, educational, housing and recreation/cultural opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
