PROPOSED PLAN TO RECRUIT TARGETED INDUSTRIES
CEDS ACTION ITEM 1.2.7.
Proposed Frame Work for Recruiting Plan
A. Update and Revamp the City's Economic Development web-site to provide a resource
for demographics, incentives,permitting and quality of life.
Daytona State College's Marketing and Social Media classes are going to work
on marketing plans for the City. The summer marketing class will create a
Marketing Plan for Ecotourism and the Social Media class will identify how the
City can harness LinkedIn to support existing City businesses and how to promote
Edgewater as an ideal location for business via Social Media and the city's web-
site.
Time Frame: 90 days
B. Affiliate with an economic development organization or firm that has the financial
capabilities, expertise, resources and personnel to attend trade shows, network with site
selectors and promote Edgewater through various printed and digital media to the
targeted industries.
C. Establish a relationship with a point of contact at DEO and at Enterprise Florida to obtain
leads on companies considering relocation to Florida.
D. Designate an individual to be an advocate for business prospects to assist in obtaining
information on incentives, local regulations, permitting and to streamline the process to
cut through red tape.
E. Work with New Smyrna Beach officials and the SE Volusia Chamber to create a regional
approach to market SE Volusia Co. as a single community with each municipality
complementing the other with it's strongest assets. For Example: NSB has a beachside,
upscale residential neighborhoods with golf courses, numerous restaurants, shops,
galleries along Flagler Ave. and Canal St. and it's new retail area along the SR44
corridor and a Hospital.
Edgewater is on the north end of Mosquito Lagoon, one of the premiere inshore fishing
destinations in the country. Edgewater also has local Daytona State College and has
several large industrial areas including the largest industrial park in Volusia County. It
also has a workforce that is experienced in boat manufacturing, surfboards, canoes and
paddle boards, composites, machining and affordable housing. Farmton /Deering Park
retail/ industrial area and Restorations retail area located at the SR442 interchange is
being developed and will provide additional retail/industrial areas.
