Introduction
The revitalization of an economy and growth is referred to as discovering and conquering
new lands and finding new resources in the lands conquered (Hayes, 2011). But in recent times,
the concept has changed with the changing mindsets of people and leads a better life.
Revitalization now is not confined to simply conquering new lands to use its valuable resources
but to develop in the process of procuring these resources. People wish to grow their
communities through proper economic planning and solving the issues related to the community.
Whenever there is a crisis in the economy such as an increase in the population, need for
infrastructural constructs, to provide more than basic needs to the society, and depletion of the
available resources, the need for revitalization of the economy is considered (Clapp &
Dauvergne, 2011). Nevertheless, these changes can be accomplished only when people start
shifting their focus from just restoring their heritage but also embrace new developments to
improve the economy.
Clipper Bay is one such location which is paving its way towards economic and
restorative development as well as preserving the natural heritage of the area. Clipper Bay is a
small community with a population of 5000 situated in the tip of a peninsula. The town’s
economy is mostly dependent on its marine life by way of fishing and businesses related to
fishing. The Clipper Bay community has kept its heritage of fishing alive and its unique
limestone caves make this town a scenic beauty. As Florida is booming with its modern
developments, the local government of Clipper Bay is considering their options for any scope of
economic development. The aim of this report is to act as a Chief planner and prepare a plan that
will develop the economy of Clipper Bay. Looking at the prospects and what developments it
can bring in to this town, it has been provided with an investment worth $50 million to revitalize
the local economy. This investment would offer opportunities for supporting the economy and
extend opportunities related to the workforce. Though a constant restraint may be seen within the
people of Clipper Bay, with little social cooperation and time, the economy of the town can be
improved in a sustainable manner considering socio-cultural and environmental elements as well.
