PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – Dozens of Palm Springs business leaders and residents gathered at the Palm Springs City Council Special Meeting on Monday.
Councilmembers approved and discussed the new Economic Development Strategic Framework, a plan to move away from a tourism driven economy and build one that puts residents at the center.
The city’s economic development team describes the proposition as, “a comprehensive plan designed to guide the City’s economic growth and diversification over the next decade or so. The EDSF outlines a long-term vision that blends Palm Springs’ legacy as a world-class tourism destination with new opportunities in technology, sustainability, and the creative economy.”
