The Economic Development Strategic Plan process included extensive input from Town staff, council members and stakeholders. In addition, the Queen Creek Economic Development Commission provided direction on the Town's opportunities, strengths and overarching goals. 

• Queen Creek Economic Development Strategic Plan (adopted February 2021)

The five industry clusters identified as suitable for Queen Creek will help foster diverse job creation as well as complement the Town’s existing strengths. These targeted sectors include:

• Agritainment/Destination Tourism
• Healthcare
• Business Services
• IT/Software 
• Advanced Manufacturing

The Economic Development Strategic Plan recommends the Town's continued use of the Town's Economic Development Investment Program.

The Economic Development Strategic Plan is intended to guide economic development decisions and policies in Queen Creek and provide direction to the Town to focus marketing and recruitment efforts on specific and targeted industries. The plan is a tool to balance the fiscal approach to land planning to ensure that the municipal budget is always balanced and meets the needs of the community. The strategies will focus on the broader goals of the community and work towards the creation of higher paying jobs, new employment creation and an excellent quality of life by building on the community assets already in place today.

The Economic Development Commission meets quarterly at 7:30 a.m. on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
