Competitive Assessment

This report will present a breadth of research to demonstrate the Sioux Falls area’s competitive position to accommodate “visionary” growth and development.  A combination of factors that determine a community’s strengths as a place to live, work, and do business will be assessed including indicators related to education and workforce development, infrastructure and land use, business costs, and quality of life.  This report helps to develop a shared understanding of Sioux Falls’ challenges and opportunities among project stakeholders.

Community Input Plan

To gather the perspectives of community members and project stakeholders several avenues will be utilized including individual interviews, focus groups, and an online survey.  Information will be gathered about various aspects of the Sioux Falls area’s current competitiveness and quality of life, as well as information related to stakeholders’ visions for its future development.  Highlights from this process will be incorporated into the Community Assessment and will inform the Economic Development Strategy.
