San Diego North EDC in partnership with Supervisor Bill Horn, created a visionary roadmap for North San Diego County entitled Prosperity on Purpose (POP). POP is a visionary road map for North County that builds upon its natural resources to become a strong economic driver focused on transportation, research and innovation, entrepreneurship, education, and jobs.

 

POP began with the creation of a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), which identified 10 key industry clusters for North County:


Agriculture, Biotechnology, Breweries & Wineries,

Clean Technology, Connected tourism, Defense, Education,

Innovation and Specialized Manufacturing, High Tech, 

Sports & Active Lifestyle

 

POP has been and will be the catalyst for regional collaboration and it continues to bring our cities and unincorporated areas together. POP engages all 26 cities, Sovereign Tribal Lands and unincorporated areas of North County to create a unified economic development and job creation strategy based around our key industries.  

 

Currently, POP is working on developing white papers to outline its top six grant priorities identified by CEDS. You can read more Read More
