Gov. Jim Pillen · Issued
Reviewed signed executive order
Order 26-22 creates the Governor’s Economic Growth Working Group as an advisory alignment body chaired by Economic Development’s director. It includes designated public, chamber and regional partners, with additional participants invited by the governor or chair and meetings called by the chair. The group is directed to co-design and publish a multi-year state economic-development plan, organize recurring regional tours and business roundtables, prioritize annual site-selection and recruitment outreach, and coordinate a shared inventory of industrial sites, commercial properties and predevelopment assets using existing law and voluntary local input. Economic Development must provide administrative support. The initial alignment framework is due December 31, 2026 and the plan by June 30, 2027, followed by annual updates and ongoing recruitment. The order is effective upon execution. It does not establish that meetings, tours or recruitment occurred, that either future deliverable has been completed, or that jobs, investment or output increased. It does not itself enact a tax change, appropriation or residential housing program; its statistical and ranking recitals await independent verification. The operative plan, industrial-site inventory and recruitment coordination concern economic development, without a measured output effect.
