CORAL GABLES ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT

In 1989, the City Commission created the Development Department to foster and enhance sound economic growth compatible with the adopted policies and quality of life in the City of Coral Gables. The Department has a business development plan to assist realtors, building owners, and organizations in attracting domestic and international prospects by utilizing direct contacts, follow-up visits, brochures and audiovisual material. A special focus is placed on multinational recruitment and retail development. The Department also emphasizes the need for developing a better relationship with the existing business community to help improve the retention and expansion of these businesses.  In addition, the Department is responsible for providing specialized economic development, including demographics and development trends. The Development Department was renamed to the Economic Sustainability Department in 2009.
