I am happy to see that despite the recession Valparaiso will continue developing the city. The city's mayor, Jon Costas, announced that "development will continue, but just needs a little tweaking to the plan to benefit the residences of the city."
The plan that Mayor John Costas proposed will benefit the residences by creating more jobs. The Mayor's plan consist of guiding new proposed business to existing location and work towards getting more "environmentally friendly" businesses such as, research and development, distribution, and light industries. The city also would like to attract heavy manufacturing company, but that is not its number one priority.
With economical woes all around them, one city is still looking to the future.
