The Mayor's Blue Ribbon Panel on Economic Development has been meeting since mid-December, 2009 and has targeted completion of its work for early June, 2010. The panel created five guiding principles on which to guide its work. The initial focus, which is continuing, has been to educate the panel on issues which are vital to the topic of economic development. Representatives of a variety of local and state organizations have met with the panel, with more planned through April. The panel's charge from Mayor Howe is:
- Conduct an assessment of how Red Wing has done with economic development.
- What has Red Wing done very well?
- Where have there been set backs / disappointments?
- What strategies should Red Wing employ to position our City for the future?
- Given today's / future economic conditions?
- What structure will give Red Wing the best opportunity for success?
- How does the City effectively communicate these outcomes with the community?
The Red Wing City Council approved funds to support professional facilitation of the panel's final report and also use of City staff to provide various meeting management and communication support.
