Economic Development Strategy
Puyallup, WA (2005/2006)
Directed the development of an economic development strategy for the City of Puyallup, WA. One of the priority recommendations was to work with area brokers and developers to discuss the redevelopment of an old MicroChip plant into a mixed-use corporate campus. Since that time the plants (seen below in its current vacant condition) will go from being off the tax books to contributing millions in property and sales tax plus 1000+ high wage jobs.
