• Providing technical and business assistance to existing firms so they will expand their current business with new capital investments and jobs. 
• Develop programs that will enhance the community’s ability to foster small business growth and further develop a business climate for entrepreneurs to effectively create quality local jobs.
• Create an atmosphere to foster tourism development that will take advantage of the community’s existing natural and historic assets, and business opportunities for new destination oriented attractions for outside investors.
