The SVO's signature economic development program

Welcome to Seattle! The SVO’s 2018 Annual Study Mission, our signature economic development program, is a three-day retreat for our members, key stakeholders and public sector partners to learn more about the public policy solutions and publicprivate partnerships that have defined the growth and prosperity of another major U.S. city and region. This year’s Study Mission will focus on the catalytic economic development opportunities presented by Google with its potential opening of a new campus in the Diridon Station Area along with the expansion of Adobe in the downtown core.

In Seattle, we will learn from Amazon’s explosive growth in the region and take away best practices as we look to leverage these dynamic private sector investments towards strengthening San Jose’s position as a World Class city. On behalf of all of us at The SVO, we want to thank you, our delegates, for supporting this year's Study Mission to Seattle. Here is wishing you all an incredible trip to Seattle!

The SVO's signature economic development program

Between the 1980's and 1990's, Seattle began its development into a major technology center with headquartered companies such as Microsoft and Amazon. A steady stream of new software and internet companies led to an economic revival and boom in and around downtown Seattle, which shares many similar characteristics to the growth and story of Silicon Valley. The City of San Jose and Silicon Valley business executives can learn much from Seattle’s rapid growth and resulting growing pains, especially in their downtown core, to identify and implement public policies here at home that continue to drive economic prosperity, improve our region’s critical infrastructure investments and maintain a high quality of life for residents and businesses.

The 2018 Study Mission will be a working retreat to analyze the Amazon campus’ case study in Seattle, with an eye towards understanding public policies and programs that can potentially further ignite San Jose’s economic success for decades to come. The SVO Study Mission will also be an opportunity to network with other city staff and business executives to identify potential partnerships to sustain Silicon Valley’s economic engine.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3 Moderated Discussion 1: Integration of Corporate Partners in the Urban Fabric Great public spaces and attractive cities require active participation from corporate partners in order to design truly great destination cities. As we observe Google’s interest in expanding to San Jose, more and more corporate partners are looking to invest in the city’s success. We have seen tremendous economic growth and success in recent years in downtown Seattle. How do the City of Seattle, particularly the Office of Economic Development and the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, work to ensure that the business community continues to invest and thrive in the downtown core? Over the past few years, the City of Seattle convened an advisory committee to evaluate the complex issues and make recommendations to support commercial affordability for small businesses. What were some of the specific solutions that the committee recommended? What updates can you provide regarding the implementation of policies designed to support small businesses in Seattle? What were the key partnerships that encouraged the City of Seattle’s urbanization process? Please give some examples of how corporate partners enhanced the vibrant and urban culture of Seattle.

Moderated Discussion 2: Transportation and Transit Infrastructure Fast and reliable public transit options are a key element of major metropolitan cities. In Seattle, two public transportation agencies serve the city: the King County Metro Transit and the Sound Transit. In addition, the City of Seattle helps fund additional transit capacity through a city-wide car tab, makes major capital investments for bus service, and runs multiple streetcar lines. These transportation solutions allow Seattle to efficiently transport commuters between the city’s jobs center in the dense, urban core to residential areas throughout the greater Puget Sound region. From 2010 to 2017, downtown Seattle netted an additional 60,000 jobs with an impressive 75% of workers choosing a method of travel other than driving alone. In a survey conducted by Commute Seattle, 48% of workers used public transit for daily commutes. The panelists will share information on Seattle’s transit evolution and describe the public policy successes, such as regional transportation measures, that have contributed to the city’s impressive public transit results. In particular, how did the Seattle business community support transit-friendly policies that contributed to these successful public transit initiatives?

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4 Moderated Discussion 1: Development Review – Growing Seattle’s Downtown During Seattle’s technology boom in the 1980’s, the City saw new construction adding more than 14 million square feet of office space. Furthermore, the local economy continued to be boosted by major companies such as Boeing and Microsoft and the city added an additional 1.5 million square feet of office space each year between 1997 and 1999. In 2012, Amazon announced its intention to construct a complex of high-rises to the north of downtown Seattle. The panelists will discuss the city’s economic cycles, or “boom and bust” cycles, that contributed to the rapid urbanization of Seattle’s downtown core. In particular, what were the key public policy decisions that permitted and expedited the development of major projects in Seattle?

Moderated Discussion 2: Housing and Homelessness Panel As cities transform into dense urban environments and add thousands of new jobs, potential problems such as a restricted housing supply and a growing homeless population become new issues for urban cities to grapple with. The panelists will describe some of the key initiatives designed to address these issues. While we understand that the key systemic salutation towards addressing homelessness is to build more supportive and transitional housing, what are some innovative solutions that Seattle is considering in an effort to tackle this important and critical issue? What short-term and long-term housing solutions has Seattle explored to meet the housing needs of the community? What is Seattle’s plan to have balanced growth to create an ideal mix of housing to jobs throughout the region?
