Economic Development
Economic Development can be defined as initiatives seeking to improve the economic well-being and quality of life for a community by creating and retaining jobs, and supporting growth of incomes and tax bases. DTI's work can be categorized into four key economic development initiatives: retaining existing businesses and workforce, supporting business growth and expansion efforts, attracting new and relocating businesses, and fostering business creation and innovation. We accomplish this through the utilization of economic development tools such as low-interest rate loan and grant programs, tax incentives, and more.
