The group will address a wide range of local projects focusing on business retention, expansion and attraction, working closely with local government and non-government partners Enterprise Flagler, Flagler County, Daytona State College and the Flagler Chamber of Commerce to expand our local economy in the City of Palm Coast and Flagler County.
The Palm Coast Economic Development Team will be led by Senior Planner Beau Falgout who has a wide range of experience in strategic planning, communications, general analysis and government contacts. Additional team members will also include Chris Quinn, the City's Chief Accountant, CPA, CGFO, who is recognized in his industry for financial competency and provides the analytical skills to evaluate and structure financial incentive packages; Lisa Gardner, Community Relations, who brings a private sector marketing/media component to the table; Sara Lockhart, AICP, with private sector experience and contacts within the land development industry; James Majcen, The City's IT Applications Manager, CCIO, with private and public sector experience utilizing technology as a tool for data analysis, advertising and marketing and business development.
