Priority Economic Sectors

Priority sectors have been identified by the critical mass of similar and complementary businesses in the local community. They typically produce and exchange goods and services, talent, and technology. Their presence serves to attract further investment, innovation, and personnel.

The thrust of the work TeamSTC engages in will be strategic economic development efforts to continue to attract new businesses and increasingly focus on encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship from the sectors that are already actively contributing the most for jobs and economic output through robust business retention and expansion work.

The priority sectors include:

Agriculture
