Summary of Moab Business Alliance Draft Initiatives

"What to do" Initiatives

Moab Small Business/Non-Profit Cluster Develop a combined small business and non-profit business cluster. These Moab businesses and organizations will thrive and prosper with lower priced space and enjoy the synergy of other similar organizations being able to share computer services, clerical, copy and mailing services.

Save Energy for Moab Businesses Build on the The Nation's First Green Power Community by making Moab The Nation's First Energy Efficient, Green Power Community.

Moab Micro-Business Facilitate and encourage (1) more home businesses and (2) small businesses appropriate for a small business/non-profit cluster.

Make Moab an Arts Destination Give Moab artists a voice in the community and make Moab an Arts Destination for practitioners, supporters, and art buyers.

Connected Moab - Low Cost and High-Speed Create the high-speed connection infrastructure that will bring low-impact, high-tech businesses to Moab.

Informed Moab Conduct opinion surveys on important issues facing Moab. Be an honest broker for the information that is critical for creating a knowledgeable community and for making good decisions.

Tamarisk Eradication Along the Moab Daily Care for the Colorado River Corridor upstream from Moab and encourage collaborative relationships between river companies.

Profit/Non-Profit Partnerships Create positive partnerships between non-profit and for-profit businesses that will enable both sectors to expand services and reach wider audiences. A bridge between these communities is needed to make both more successful.

"How to do it" Initiatives

Enterprise Facilitation Economic Development Use "Enterprise Facilitators" to help individuals succeed with their own small business ideas. This is done through consultations to help them develop sound business management products, distribution, finances, and marketing. Enterprise facilitation helps motivated individuals but does not initiate, plan, finance, or subsidize projects.

Scenario Thinking Event This is a catalyst for implementing new business ideas. Big ideas are explored. People are encouraged to enjoy the process and be an advocate. Jay Ogilvy, well known scenario expert will help us with this event.
