Create a cohesive city attraction & recruitment strategy to retain and grow existing green businesses.  Synchronize city land use planning, transportation infrastructure, business attraction policy, and policy incentives/tax credits to encourage green building and green tech industry growth.  The City is proactively marketing its strengths with positive stories (e.g. 2008 SF Business Times supplement), creating an opportunity site map, and conducting targeted outreach. CEDA has allocated a pool of funds for business attraction of companies including green tech.
