SJEDS INVESTMENT CAMPAIGN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Moving San Juan County
Forward
SJEDS' goal is to develop the long-term stable funding base and sustainable
economic development programs to move
San Juan
County's
economy forward. SJEDS is the leading organization in the role of securing
our economy future. Success is a strong economy with quality jobs, growing

County. Read the Moving Forward brochure.
Vision: Build on SJEDS success and increase its capacity to serve
its stakeholders through sustainable funding and community support.
Objectives for the Investment Campaign: Increased funding for
SJEDS annual programs. Based on research of comparable Economic
Development Organizations (EDOs) done by SJEDS in the Spring of 2006,
the funding best practices of other EDOs are from public and private
sources, with about 50% public and 50% private. SJEDS will continue
to maintain the public sector funding base and to work to substantially
increase the private sector funding during 2007-2011.
What will we do with the additional funding from investors? The
funding will increase SJEDS capacity in their programs, support for economic
development in the County and SJEDS staffing levels.
SJEDS projects for 2007 through 2011, given investor funding:
- Industrial Park expansion: SJEDS is working with
Farmington,
Aztec and
Bloomfield
to assist with their industrial parks (new and existing).
- Recruitment of new companies to
San Juan
County, and the ongoing support of the
Enterprise
Center
at the College to create new jobs and companies to further diversify
the economic base of the region.
- Employer support programs for San Juan County employers in their
recruiting efforts for professionals within the County and from outside
the County, such as workforce training (in coordination with San Juan
College), programs to support trailing spouses, and ongoing support
of employers as they work to improve their workforce.
- Enhanced access to economic research and database information systems
for local and regional employers, including expanded SJEDS web site
information
- Promote inter-company business and economic development opportunities
