Cottonwood’s population is growing by 2.1 percent per year and the city is hoping to stay on top of that trend by preparing for the future.
Last week, the Cottonwood City Council approved a five-year economic strategic plan dubbed “Focus on Success.”
The plan has some specific areas considered for that focus.
“The last five-year plan was completed,” according to Casey Rooney, Cottonwood’s economic development director. “It is now time to move forward with a new five-year economic development plan with a new focus on arts and entertainment, recreation and tourism, agribusiness, health care, biomedicine, manufacturing and transportation.”
The city shared the cost of developing this second economic plan with Arizona Public Services.
