Downtown Ellensburg Business Development

Jasmine Leaptrot, Central Washington University

Abstract

The Ellensburg Business Development Authority (EBDA) began looking into the development of businesses in Ellensburg in 2018. As the city of Ellensburg continues to grow in population, businesses grow along with it succeeding and failing. In this project I will further examine the economic development of businesses from the point of view of the actual members in the community. Ellensburg is known for its local businesses and how much these businesses invest in the community. For this research project I will be going door to door to 30-50 businesses and collecting data from the point of view of the actual business members. It is hoped that the qualitative and quantitative research from this project will help gain a better understanding of how Ellensburg’s economy can grow locally and why some businesses are successful while others are not.
