The primary goal of the Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP) is to enhance the quality of life for all our residents by attracting and retaining employers that provide good-paying jobs and benefits. None of this happens, however, without supporting quality employment growth.
This is first of four primary goals critical to the success of our region’s community and consensus-built strategic plan known as Vision 2025. But what exactly does “support quality employment growth” mean? In simple terms, it means building purposeful job producing economic development programs that serves as a good, long-term investment for our community.
Purposeful economic development is often discussed as a three-legged stool: Business Recruitment and Attraction; Business Retention and Expansion; and Small Business Development and Entrepreneurship. All three “legs” are crucial to supporting quality employment growth.
