5 City of Deerfield Beach SWOT Summary and Resident Survey SWOT ANALYSIS Effective economic development strategies rely on a process of identifying opportunities and building on local strengths while addressing challenges and shoring up weaknesses. The search for new economic opportunity requires knowing where to look, and sometimes taking a different look at the local economic landscape to uncover opportunities that at first blush may not be obvious. The following SWOT Analysis marks the conclusion of the first of three phases of the City of Deerfield Beach Strategic Planning Process. The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis of the City of Deerfield Beach combines the previous Economic and Competitive Analysis (Report I) with subsequent stakeholder focus groups and interviews and a resident survey to evaluate the City s overall economic assets, opportunities and challenges. The Competitive Analysis revealed strengths and opportunities that together create a desirable business environment in Deerfield Beach with the potential for enhancing the City s economic well-being and overall quality of life for its residents. It also points out challenges that must be addressed for Deerfield Beach to reach its full potential. The SWOT was performed using three categories of analysis Quality of Life, Business Environment and Population and Workforce which together serve as the critical determinants of economic development performance. The success of the Citywide Economic Development Strategy is dependent on developing and enhancing these determinants and addressing any obstacles or challenges that may exist. 1

9 RESIDENT SURVEY The City of Deerfield Beach Resident Survey was administered as part of the Economic Development Strategic Planning Process. The FIU Metropolitan Center team, with guidance from City staff, interviewed key community, business and institutional stakeholders who have significant economic interests and concerns. The Project Team presented preliminary analysis findings and identified base concerns and economic development issues to the groups. The stakeholder interviews were then used to help shape a short list of economic development priorities and issues of importance that informed the development of a resident survey questionnaire. The survey was made available to all stakeholders through a link on City s website. This survey data was used to inform the development of the final Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) and presented at public EDSP planning sessions. A total of 249 survey responses were collected online. Below is a summary of the survey results.
