The City of Creswell employs a multi-faceted approach to community and economic development.  We believe that sustained economic development and job growth comes from a mixture of three strategies:

1. Community Development - Making Creswell a better and more attractive place to live for our current and future residents. We believe that community development can occur without economic development, but that economic growth cannot occur without community development.

2. Business retention & expansion - We focus on making our existing, small businesses successful and helping them to grow. 

3. Business Attraction - Providing incentives and eliminating barriers to attract new business to the Creswell area.

The City of Creswell values local businesses and seeks to create an economy that allows them to thrive. Economic Development is one of our top priorities, with our goal being to build the City's capacity to support and attract businesses, create jobs, and position Creswell for sustainable growth.
