What We Do

THRIVESPOKANE

Greater Spokane Inc. has engaged economic development consulting firm TIP Strategies, based in Austin, to assist with the preparation of a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the Spokane region called THRIVE Spokane. This work will result in a strategy for guiding the region’s economic development and sustainable long-term growth. This will be a countywide effort done in collaboration with community partners and in conjunction with the various jurisdictions, their comprehensive plans, and the wider array of stakeholders such as PDA’s, K-12 and higher education institutions, downtown associations, chambers, transportation councils, and residents to create a unifying vision to foster an inclusive, equitable and thriving economy.
