EDC Statement <br /> • Airport Public Hearings <br /> May 24 and 25, 1989 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 2. Infrastructure Committee - This committee will, focus on <br /> infrastructure improvements needed to assist both existing and <br /> new businesses, and will work with the Target Advisory Group <br /> (above) in detailing how our potential sites need to be improved <br /> in order to attract the quality companies we want. <br /> 3. Public Information Committee - Tasks include the development of <br /> a promotional video to "sell" Orange County to prospective <br /> businesses. The committee will conduct periodic surveys/feedback <br /> sessions with citizens in different geographic areas of the <br /> county. <br /> • 4. Small Business Committee - This group will lead efforts to <br /> assist small businesses - existing and new. One of its major <br /> projects this year will be to produce a booklet on "How to Do <br /> Business in Orange County". <br /> 5. Education/Training Consortium - The strategy is to ensure that <br /> all citizens receive the training necessary to be productive in <br /> the market place. Projects include the securing of more training <br /> space for adults, and working with employers and educators to <br /> ensure that appropriate training is provided. <br /> We have sign-up forms at this Public Hearing, and in the Economic <br /> Development Office, and we encourage citizens who would like to <br /> participate with us to fill out a form and let us know how you would like <br /> to be involved. <br /> Producing the Economic Development Strategic Plan has been exciting and <br /> rewarding. Implementing the Plan will be even more so, and we look <br /> forward to working together to improve the quality of life for all <br /> citizens in the county. <br /> John McKee, Chair <br /> Orange County Economic Development Commission <br /> • <br />
