Economic Opportunities Analysis

There were three main factors that inspired an update to the City's Economic Opportunities Analysis: (1) when it was last done in 2000, it did not address constraints to development of property, such as wetlands, steep slopes, parcel size, etc, (2) since 2000, there has been commercial and industrial development in Albany, making previously vacant property unavailable for development, and (3) also since 2000, State policies guiding the completion of economic opportunity analyses have changed. Greg Winterowd, a planner and principal at Winterbrook Planning, with the assistance of ECONorthwest, a planning and economic consulting firm, reviewed and updated the 2000 Economic Opportunities Analysis.
