Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy plan feedback

MARC is designated by the U.S. Economic Development Administration as the Kansas City region’s Economic Development District. Every 5 years, MARC engages community stakeholders to prepare a new Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Plan. The plan offers insights into the region’s economic competitiveness with a focus on how public and private investments could create a more prosperous and inclusive economy through:

Focused business investments
Entrepreneurship and innovation
Workforce development
Place-based investments
