To create and maintain a balanced and sustainable local economy <br /> while preserving and enhancing Mashpee's environment and <br /> cultural heritage. <br /> 2. To increase the incomes of Mashpee residents. <br /> 3. To provide our residents with a full range of commercial facilities <br /> and services in keeping with the community's size and potential <br /> market area. <br /> 4. To increase the town's industrial and commercial tax base while <br /> minimizing increased municipal service costs,environmental <br /> impacts,and other adverse impacts on the community. <br /> The 2009 Regional Policy Plan establishes three overarching economic <br /> development goals: <br /> ED1: Low-impact and Compatible Development <br /> To promote the design and location of development and redevelopment to <br /> preserve the Cape's environment and cultural heritage,use infrastructure <br /> efficiently,minimize adverse impacts,and enhance the quality of life for <br /> Cape Codders. <br /> ED2:A Balanced Economy <br /> To promote a balanced regional economy with a broad business,industry, <br /> employment,cultural, and demographic mix capable of supporting year- <br /> round and quality employment opportunities. <br /> ED3: Regional Income Growth <br /> To promote economic activity that retains and attracts income to the <br /> region and benefits residents,thus increasing economic opportunity for <br /> all. <br /> Page 4 Mashpee EDIC Economic Development Plan <br />
