The purpose of the work covered in this plan is presented as a “due North” compass for success. The plan defines 12 priority economic development initiatives in the City of Yakima through 2020.

The plan’s goal is:

We aim to spur and sustain the growth of Yakima’s economy over the long-term by collectively working to grow jobs –jobs that pay well, enabling resident workers to buy homes and afford a quality lifestyle.
