Staff and the board actively participated in opportunities to give feedback on the current zoning and usage changes currently under consideration. While the eight-year Comp Plan update was just completed in 2417, the makeup of CenterFuse and its place in the community have evolved. After review of the Economic Development section, CenterFuse submitted an extensive proposal forthe 2019 annual Comp Plan Amendment to add language and actions that cover organizational roles, strategies for tech company recruitment, the need for a "how to" guide, and to give this section the proactive voice the community so desperately needs. Developing stronger partnerships — CenterFuse knows that partnerships and a strong county are vital to Ellensburg's economic development environment. CenterFuse staff and the board have renewed strong ties to the County and to the ICttitas County Chamber of Commerce to offer support in their efforts to develop a strategic approach to economic development for K'ittitas County. CenterlFuse maintains frequent communications and seats at the table in these discussions. Creation of marketing materials and launching a `pitch' —A proactive approach to recruiting companies has not previously been a strength of Ellensburg. With its new direction, CenterFuse is now in full development of marketing materials and will identify opportunities and reach out directly to prospects to bring companies and jobs to the Ellensburg market. Ideal targets will have high value, and low community impact, in terms of traffic, housing, and the environment.

The EBDA, now dba CenterFuse, is a public development authority, authorized by RCW. 35.21.730 and created by the City of Ellensburg in 1994 (City of Ellensburg Ordinance No. 3895). In the last two years, the staff and nine -member board have created a proactive strategic plan for CenterFuse and have begun to implement it.
