ADOPT Resolution No. 98 - 139 supporting the formation and execution of duties of the
Partnership for the New Century Economy, and participating on the initiative’s Public Sector
Roundtable.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Regions that have been successful at nurturing industry clusters have typically developed
high quality economic initiatives and organizations that are responsive to the specialized
needs of existing and emerging clusters in the region. Providing an approach that facilitates
strong civic leadership and collaboration among organizations and across different
communities in the region is often sited as being central to a region’s economic success,
since regional areas, not individual cities are considered the basic unit of economic
competition. In addition, targeted industry clusters depend on regional infrastructure,
regional labor force, and regional transportation systems that span across communities.
The San Diego Economic Development Corporation is sponsoring a new regional economic
development initiative called the Partnership for the New Century Economy. The initiative’s
principal goal is to improve the standard of living for the residents of the San Diego region
through the creation of new high paying jobs, and to increase per capita incomes. The
Partnership for the New Century Economy initiative is designed to bring the region’s high
technology industry leadership, local government, educational institutions, and the military
together to collaborate for economic prosperity.
The City of Carlsbad is a member agency of the San Diego Economic Development
Corporation and is being asked to support the initiative through adoption of a resolution,
and by providing City representation at its Public Sector Roundtable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
