23rd Annual Leadership Luncheon: An Important Discussion on Economic Development in Monterey County


Thank you our Presenting Sponsor, California Resources Corporation, for supporting the 23rd Annual Leadership Luncheon. This year’s discussion centered on economic development, with local leaders exploring opportunities and challenges facing our region. Panelists were asked to respond to two key questions:


• What kind of economic development do you want to promote for your jurisdiction and the region in the next few years?

• If you want to promote economic development, how will you address resident concerns that more commercial activity will compromise quality of life and community character? 

Thank you to our panelists for their insight and leadership. We encourage you to explore the summary of comments on economic development, with special attention to the perspectives shared by the officials serving your city and neighborhood.
