2. PROPOSED BUTLER COUNTY ECONOMIC VISION STATEMENT Create a future environment in which high quality growth and development occurs in Butler County communities, resulting in increased high- wage job creation, broad- based prosperity, business and industry competitiveness, and sustainable community- building with the greatest possible return on public and private funds invested. Supporting Definitions for the Economic Vision “Growth introduces both challenges and opportunities for communities.” ~Utah Quality Growth Commission “There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ definition of quality growth. It should be defined in the context of a particular community, but in recognition of that community’s connections to other communities.” ~Atlanta Regional Commission “High-wage jobs are jobs that pay at least 50% more than the overall average wage.” ~Carey Business School, Arizona State University “High-demand jobs are jobs that are expected to grow at least 25% above the average employment growth rate for all jobs.” ~Massachusetts Department of Employment and Training “Gross national product growth is not the ultimate measure of an economy’s success. Instead the ultimate measure of an economy’s success is how well it produces prosperity for all citizens.” ~Philip Auerswald & Zoltan J. Acs “Competitiveness is defined by the productivity with which a nation utilizes its human, capital and natural resources. To understand competitiveness, the starting point must be a nation’s underlying sources of prosperity.” ~Michael Porter “A sustainable community is one that is economically, environmentally, and socially healthy and resilient. It meets challenges through integrated solutions rather than through fragmented approaches that meet one of those goals at the expense of the others. And it takes a long-term perspective—one that's focused on both the present and future, well beyond the next budget or election cycle.” ~Institute for Sustainable Communities Would you consider this as a future economic vision statement for Butler County and its communities?

4. SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Manageable Growth Quality Development Sustainable Economic Development Local economies continuously experience both growth and development. Growth is a process of a local economy becoming larger in size and output. Growth is described in quantitative terms, such as the growth in local economic output. Development is a process in which a local economy evolves or transforms, changing in qualitative terms often in phases. Development is concerned with job generation, standard of living, broad-based prosperity and quality of life. Sustainable local economic development requires a combination of growth and development that gives special attention to: 1) the efficient (productive) use of resources that have favorable impacts on the environment, natural resources, human lives, businesses, and community quality of life; and 2) produces necessary goods and services that place reasonable demands on these same impact factors.

5. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT VERSUS ECONOMIC GROWTH DimensionEconomic DevelopmentEconomic Growth ScopeDevelopment is concerned with structural changes in the economy (e.g. changes in industry mix through growth and decline), and the availability of development resources (e.g. workforce, infrastructure, real estate, land use and zoning, financing) to support business expansion and attraction. Growth is concerned with increases in the economy's output (local economic output), increases in business productivity, and export growth (outside the local economy). Innovation plays a major role in increasing productivity and export competitiveness. EmphasisConcerned about job creation and upgrading, resident and worker prosperity, living standard as an aspect of quality of life, and equity concerns about where, how, and who benefits from growth. Growth relates to changes in local economic output, consumption, investment, exports outside the local economy MeasurementDevelopment implies increases in employment, prosperity, and improvement in socioeconomic conditions. Metric examples: employment growth, unemployment rate, per capita income, tax base increases, and poverty rate. Growth refers to an increase in the output of goods and services by industry or business sector. Metric examples: growth in local economic output, exports outside the local economy EffectBrings qualitative and quantitative changes in the economyBrings quantitative changes in the economy Type ConceptNormative concept, which provides a basis for policy.Narrower analytic concept than economic development RelevanceEconomic development is more relevant to measuring standard of living, socioeconomic progress and quality of life of communities and citizens supported by a local economy Economic growth is relevant to the size and rate of growth of a local economy.

Butler County Estimated Economic Output Growth $13,823 $12,933 $13,443 Methodology Note: No economic output data is available for Butler County, but it can be estimated using total personal income (TPI) data.

7. INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT BUDGET: AS A TOOL  The Integrated Development Budget, or the IDB, is a practical research and planning Web-based tool that local practitioners and policymakers can use to create an environment in which high quality and sustainable growth and development occur in Butler County.  The IDB can be used by an individual community or a group of communities to analyze whether development proposals, projects, strategies and policies will contribute to quality and sustainable growth in the community or group of communities.  The IDB is designed to increase collaboration within a single community and between and among communities to innovate with new approaches to economic and community development projects.

11. Sum of All Theories: Economic Development in a region is dependent on: natural resources, labor, capital investment, entrepreneurship, transport and communication, industrial composition, technology, export market, international economic situation, local government capacity, national and state government spending, and development supports. While all these factors are important, which factor carries more weight is difficult to ascertain. SOURCING OFFICE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS 11
