Policy platformÂ
The South County EDC has identified six key sectors of the South County region to comprise its policy platform: Infrastructure, Education, Housing, Binational Trade Relations, Sustainability, and Health Care. This platform aims to guide and direct advocacy by the organization in support of economic growth and the vitality of communities within our member cities and agencies. As one of the leading organizations representing jobs throughout the binational region, our core principles have always striven to be inclusive and to ensure equal opportunities for all residents, employees, businesses, and those interested in being part of the South County of San Diego.Â
This policy platform seeks to ensure all members of our community can be part of a strong and inclusive South County economy through:
- Ensuring participation is encouraged and accessible to all.
- Improving access of available resources to promote a fair and equitable economic environment.
- Encouraging strong job, career, and educational opportunities fueling economic growth.
- Partnering with member cities and agencies to ensure stable and firm policies and regulations for those looking to invest in these communities.
- Supporting strategies focused on creating a sustainable economic and social environment to ensure the success of future generations.
The South County EDC will support measures that align with our policy platform and will oppose measures that detract from long-term economic growth. The Board of Directors and committees of South County EDC will refer to the following policy platform when considering positions on issues that come before the organization.
