The update includes 2024 accomplishments, 2025 work plan highlights and discussion of emerging challenges, strategic alignment and opportunities to strengthen the City’s role in supporting economic resilience and inclusive prosperity.

   Economic health in Fort Collins is not the responsibility of a single department or sector. It is the result of strong relationships, collaborative governance, intentional strategy and sustained investment. As the city navigates a rapidly changing environment shaped by workforce transitions, technological disruption, climate policy and affordability pressures, this Council Priority serves as a critical framework to ensure the local economy delivers tangible benefits to the entire community.

   Staff will provide an overview of the City’s integrated approach and preview how cross-sector efforts are supporting a healthy, equitable and resilient economy. Council feedback will help shape future direction and inform prioritization, policy development and resource allocation through the remainder of 2025 and beyond.
