Diverse & Resilient Economy

Diverse & Resilient Economy Policy
Plano will focus efforts to retain existing businesses and target outreach to innovative knowledge-based companies to ensure a diverse and resilient economic base. 
A diverse economy creates a city that is resilient in times of change or economic stress. Plano’s current economy is comprised of a mixture of businesses that vary in size and industry sectors.
