Focus Groups

The comprehensive economic development strategic planning process thus far has involved extensive community and stakeholder outreach including a CEDS Stakeholder Survey, 14 on-on-one stakeholder interviews, a two-day scenario-planning Think-Tank, and six in-person Strategic Pillar Focus Groups. These facilitated Focus Groups aimed to build a deeper understanding of each topic and its implications for economic development in the City of Littleton. A key part of the strategic planning process, the Focus Groups help to synthesize community and stakeholder input from the Stakeholder Survey and the Think-Tank, and to explore a set of crucial questions.

To help prepare for the Focus Groups, participants were provided with the Scenario Snapshot informational flyer for a summary of the results that emerged from the Think-Tank Workshop in July.

Key Focus Group Topics:

  1. Business vitality and adaptability
  2. Workforce and talent attraction
  3. Fostering a livable economy
  4. Incorporating industrial and flex
  5. Regional economy positioning
  6. Historic character and fabric
