A two-year plan for promoting economic growth,
devised by Saratoga Prosperity Partnership and
presented last month, is something the economic
development organization says will “propel Saratoga
County forward” in its quest to attract more business
while at the same time retaining jobs at existing
businesses.
Martin Vanags, president of the group created in
2014 by the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors,
said that while the program was formally unveiled
in December, its implementation started earlier in
the year and is ongoing.
It was developed with assistance from the consulting
firm TIPS Strategies out of Austin, Texas,
Vanags said. The plan involves brainstorming with
business and government leaders to best focus on
the targeted goals.
“We are about this plan,” he said about the Partnership,
“putting our nose to the grindstone and
moving forward.”
