Diamond District Inclusive Economic Resiliency Agenda
Local Initiatives Support Corporation San Diego (LISC SD) engaged Estolano Advisors to assist in developing an Inclusive Economic Resiliency Agenda (Agenda) – a three-year roadmap that supports an integrated, place-based approach to advancing economic mobility and resilience for communities in the Diamond District (District). The recommendations in this agenda seek to nurture the District’s strengths, address areas of need, and foster connection across local organizations and stakeholders to create economic opportunity and foster climate resilience in the District.
Estolano Advisors and LISC SD developed the Agenda in collaboration with Diamond District stakeholders. The Agenda was informed by a multi-pronged approach that centered on a Community Advisory Group with representatives from community-based organizations (CBOs), local leaders, and local government. Their contributions ensured that this plan reflects the diverse communities and neighborhoods that make up the Diamond District.
