Targeted Industries and Retail

The Box Elder Economic and Community Development Department is addressing retail needs by analyzing market data to identify service gaps and areas of leakage, where residents spend money outside the city. By focusing on attracting essential retail businesses, Box Elder aims to enhance local shopping options and reduce outflow of retail dollars. This approach not only meets community demands but also strengthens the local tax base, supporting public services and infrastructure improvements. 

In addition, the department is strategically targeting advanced manufacturing and bioscience industries to drive economic growth and create above-average wage jobs. By engaging with businesses in these sectors, the department aims to attract companies that not only offer competitive salaries but also contributes significantly to the local economy. These initiatives position Box Elder as a strong competitor in advanced manufacturing, biosciences, and retail. They also ensure a skilled workforce, improving the local economy and enhancing the quality of life for our residents.
