That’s what prohibits people from expanding their business or doing more.” -Jed Bothell Economic Development: Consensus emerged around supporting small businesses, especially in marine trades and manufacturing. Infrastructure enhancements were directly tied to facilitating job creation. F O C U S G R O U P T H E M E S Annexation and Governance: “I do not want to be part of the city. Annexation? Absolutely not.” -Sebestian Eggert Housing and Community Development: “Be cautious of turning the area into residential. Industry needs space to operate.” -Cindy Titterness Environmental & Safety Concerns: Groundwater protection and earthquake hazards were identified as key issues influencing infrastructure concerns. F O C U S G R O U P T H E M E S Communication & Transparency: Transparency was explicitly mentioned in 35% of interactions. “The trail is something that is a big benefit...the Larry Scott trail for people coming in, going out, if we do end up increasing the workforce out in Glen Cove...I think that’s a piece of possibly overlooked infrastructure.” -Jed Bothell “We need infrastructure specifically to support jobs in manufacturing and marine trades.” -Pete Langley F O C U S G R O U P T H E M E S “There’s nowhere for small businesses to go; we need better zoning.” Bruce Seton Jr. C O N C L U S I O N S I n v e s t m e n t i n t a r g e t e d i n f r a s t r u c t u r e - s e w e r , p o w e r , t r a n s p o r t a t i o n - i s b r o a d l y s u p p o r t e d , c o n t i n g e n t u p o n m a i n t a i n i n g l o c a l g o v e r n a n c e a n d t r a n s p a r e n c y i n d e c i s i o n m a k i n g .
