::

• A future where opportunity thrives, and our citizens consider Bonner County to be an ideal place to live, work and raise a family.
• A place where rural character is preserved and community stability is enhanced through quality employment options, higher wages and competitive health rates.
• Economic opportunity at all income levels, with quality local career choices for graduating high school students.
• Access to a quality employee base through workforce training, continuing education and lifelong learning programs.
• A socially and environmentally responsible stance on long-term decisions.
• A community that openly welcomes effective communication and fair dealings.

For the near term, the BCEDC has targeted these goals:

• Achieve the lowest unemployment rate of the three most northern Idaho counties by year 2005.
• Recruit and relocate businesses to Bonner County that will provide a job base that meets or exceeds the state average annual wage and provide employee benefits by year 2005.
• Through the relocation of new businesses and through assistance to existing businesses in Bonner County create 250 jobs by year 2005.
• Measure the effect of the number of jobs we create against the total job growth in the County.
• Create relationships with organizations that facilitate "start up" businesses.
• Educate all appropriate organizations regarding the benefits of ‘economic development’ and encourage their support through their commitment of time, talent, or treasure by year 2005.
