A five-year plan to enhance prosperity; attract and retain investments along with talent,
positioning Grant County as a robust and innovative county of growth and opportunity.
2023-2028
In its 32 year history, the Grant County EDC has assisted 31 large-scale manufacturing and high-
tech companies with major investments or expansions. The companies have announced over
1,900 direct jobs in our local communities with average wages over $65,000 per year.
Grant County has benefited greatly from its EDC investment. In just the most recent years, the
EDC has facilitated over $5 billion assessable capital investments. Investments have come:
SGL
Terex
Amway/Nutrilife
AeroTEC
Viterra
Sonico
Stonefly Hotel Group
Torklift
Sila
Microsoft
REC
Vantage
H5
Sabey
GI Tare
Norco
Group 14 Twelve
In property taxes alone, the County is realizing/garnering $6,434,315 annually. Several
thousand lobs have been created with millions of payroll dollars circulating within the county.
The work of the EDC builds prosperity for all citizens of Grant County.
The EDC facilitates Grant County's SIP program which funds job -creating infrastructure
investments in all regions of Grant County. Generated through sales taxes, total annual grants
are well in excess of $1 million annually.
Recent feedback from interviews with 60 local business and community leaders confirmed the
EDC has:
✓ a highly credible staff
✓ a significant track record
✓ respect as the definitive source for economic data and market analysis
✓ confidence of partners and investors
Further insight acknowledges that we are operating in a very different environment from just a
few years ago. Community leaders are embracing a revised strategic plan. Appreciating the
EDC as the county's most collaborative public/private partnership, the new Partnership in
Prosperity program focuses on:
✓ Retention and expansion of existing industry
✓ Recruitment of new capital investment and employers
✓ Strengthening the workforce for career success
✓ Small business development
✓ Attraction of talent for existing employers
✓ Facilitating job -creating infrastructure development
✓ Tracking and reporting outcomes, data, and deliverables
Deeper details are provided in the strategic plan which is attached.

The Partnership in Prosperity five-year strategic plan has several measurable goals in small
business growth, infrastructure development, and job creation. A targeted goal is 550 primary
new jobs in specific targeted industry clusters - aerospace, data centers, clean tech,
agriculture/food processing, and healthcare.
Meeting our goal of 550 primary new jobs will create an additional 764 secondary jobs,
totaling 1,314 new jobs.
This economic growth is expected to generate $68 million in new annual earnings.
Plus $38 million in new consumer expenditures.
Meeting the above goals adds $13 million in sales taxes to Grant County government. This is in
addition to the long-term value of the growing tax base.
Investment Request
To assure deliverability of -all 37 specific strategies, it is vital to ensure operational and program
resources are committed. Both private and public partners are investing in the Partnership in
Prosperity process.
On behalf of the EDC Board of Directors and leaders of the Partnership in Prosperity campaign,
we respectfully request Grant County, using 133 & 113 funds, invest $150,000/year for the five
years 2024-2028 inclusively. As a reminder, funds 133 and 113 are restricted for economic
development. Using these resources is not an expenditure from the County's operating fund
and does not reduce resources for citizen services. Indeed, the Return on Investment will
increase prosperity for the County, businesses and citizens.
With additional resources, the EDC will increase marketing opportunities specifically focused on
targeted industries and markets. Further, additional staff may be contracted in unique
specialty areas.
Thank you for considering investment and partnership. We are available at any time.

•III-i'm WWPM"�_]
Initiative I: Business Retention and Expansion
Existing industry is a top priority for the EDC. Servicing the needs of current employers is vital to
maintenance of a healthy economic climate. Success is achieved as businesses grow, stay,
employ, and become more committed to the region. Historical economic development data
indicates that existing businesses represent 70-50% of new investment and job creation in a
community.
Objective: Proactively engage, assist, and represent existing industry with their unique local
needs to sustain and expand.
Key Strategies:
Existing Industry
AV Sustain systematic existing industry and investor interaction, meeting with 50 local
investor companies each year. From those interactions:
o Track data to identify and forecast trends.
o Respond to identified issues and assist those existing companies needing
support.

and feasible, engage a supplier recruitment or reshoring strategy
4i Facilitate connections to promote local businesses by making introductions and referring

exploring advanced opportunities for enhancing challenging factors. Key areas of focus
are workforce development, talent pipeline, housing, infrastructure development,
livability, and quality of life topics. With research and data, influence positive outcomes
in these arenas.
Aft Connect with state representatives at least semiannually to advocate for economic
concerns and needs within Grant County.
The location, diverse economic base, quality of life, and other assets have all contributed to
Grant County's economic momentum. In business recruitment and attraction, the EDC will
intensify efforts to sell Grant County and its unique communities as an ideal investment
location, to the nation and the world.
Objective: Selectively target and attract new capital investment into Grant County with
emphasis on quality jobs. Target industries include agriculture processing, aerospace, data
center/cloud computing, and clean -tech manufacturing.
Key Strategies:

Initiative III: Workforce Development & Talent Attraction
Human talent is often the differentiating asset between successful and failed businesses. Grant
County's economic future must include growing and retaining workforce talent. The EDC will
engage in strategies to amplify the current and future needs of the workforce. Our ability to
grow our talent assets, with the alignment of training and educational programs, along with
attracting additional talented individuals to the community, is the key to continuing to develop
our existing workforce.
Objective: Through partner engagement, align training and education with industry needs;
recruit new talent, and establish a consistent pipeline for industry.
Key Strategies:
Collaborate
Ensure all workforce development partners (Career Connect, SkillSource, Workforce
Alliance, Department of Commerce) are in sync to implement the highest -need
strategies for strengthening the workforce pipeline.
1't Bridge business and education communities to advocate for and assist education
partners (K-12 School Districts, Big Bend Community College, CB Tech, and Job Corps) to

local industry skill needs.

in -demand talent in the community. Explore examples targeting impending college
graduates along with an outdoor enthusiasts' lifestyle campaign.
,ft Represent economic development perspectives by advocating and engaging with local
organizations that aim to address livability factors and improve Grant County's quality of
ife.
Initiative IV: Infrastructure Development
To continue to be a world-class business destination, we must step up investment in world-class
infrastructure. Success in recruitment or expansion is directly tied to our capability to supply
infrastructure. The ability to develop sites, parks, shell buildings and grow a tax base is an
outcome of infrastructure development. As the time -to -market accelerates for every project,
we must have available ready -to -build product to attract prospects. Assertively investing in
infrastructure today, will ensure a competitive advantage and attract economic investment for
future generations.
Objective: As a thought leader on infrastructure advancement, affecting economic
development, proactively position all communities in the county for future growth
opportunities.
Key Strategies:
4t Consistently engage with each municipality and port to identify infrastructure needs.

6.2 You will be hosted on shared hardware in a Tyler data center or in a third -party data center. In
either event, databases containing your Data will be dedicated to you and inaccessible to our
other customers.
6.3 Our Tyler data centers have fully -redundant telecommunications access, electrical power, and
the required hardware to provide access to the Tyler Software in the event of a disaster or
component failure. In the event of a data center failure, we reserve the right to employ our
disaster recovery plan for resumption of the SaaS Services. In that event, we commit to a
Recovery Point Objective ("RPO") of 24 hours and a Recovery Time Objective ("RTO") of 24
hours. RPO represents the maximum duration of time between the most recent recoverable
copy of your hosted Data and subsequent data center failure. RTO represents the maximum
duration of time following data center failure within which your access to the Tyler Software
must be restored.
6.4 We conduct annual penetration testing of either the production network and/or web
application to be performed. We will maintain industry standard intrusion detection and
prevention systems to monitor malicious activity in the network and to log and block any such
activity. We will provide you with a written or electronic record of the actions taken by us in the
event that any unauthorized access to your database(s) is detected as a result of our security
protocols. We will undertake an additional security audit, on terms and timing to be mutually
agreed to by the parties, at your written request. You may not attempt to bypass or subvert
security restrictions in the SaaS Services or environments related to the Tyler Software.
Unauthorized attempts to access files, passwords or other confidential information, and
unauthorized vulnerability and penetration test scanning of our network and systems (hosted or
otherwise) is prohibited without the prior written approval of our IT Security Officer.
6.5 We test our disaster recovery plan on an annual basis. Our standard test is not client -specific.
Should you request a client -specific disaster recovery test, we will work with you to schedule
and execute such a test on a mutually agreeable schedule. At your written request, we will
provide test results to you within a commercially reasonable timeframe after receipt of the
request.
6.6 We will be responsible for importing back-up and verifying that you can log -in. You will be
responsible for running reports and testing critical processes to verify the returned Data.
6.7 We provide secure Data transmission paths between each of your workstations and our servers.
6.8 Tyler data centers are accessible only by authorized personnel with a unique key entry. All other
visitors to Tyler data centers must be signed in and accompanied by authorized personnel.
Entry attempts to the data center are regularly audited by internal staff and external auditors to
ensure no unauthorized access.

see

are responsible for the security of cardholder data that we possess, including functions relating
to storing, processing, and transmitting of the cardholder data and affirm that, as of the
Effective Date, we comply with applicable requirements to be considered PCI DSS compliant and
have performed the necessary steps to validate compliance with the PCI DSS. We agree to
supply the current status of our PCI DSS compliance program in the form of an official
Attestation of Compliance, which can be found at https://www.tylertech.com/about-
us/compliance, and in the event of any change in our status, will comply with applicable notice
requirements.
SECTION C — PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
1. Professional Services. We will provide you the various implementation -related services itemized in
the Investment Summary and described in the Statement of Work.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the professional services fees in the amounts set
forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and
Payment Policy. You acknowledge that the fees stated in the Investment Summary are good -faith
estimates of the amount of time and materials required for your implementation. We will bill you
the actual fees incurred based on the in -scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the
total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable
hourly rate by the quoted hours.
3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains, and the Statement of Work describes, the
scope of services and related costs (including programming and/or interface estimates) required for
the project based on our understanding of the specifications you supplied. If additional work is
required, or if you use or request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or
change order, as applicable, outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the
addendum or change order will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If travel is required, we will make all reasonable efforts to schedule travel for our
personnel, including arranging travel reservations, at least two (2) weeks in advance of
commitments. Therefore, if you cancel services less than two (2) weeks in advance (other than for
Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (a) non-refundable expenses incurred by us
on your behalf, and (b) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to
reassign our personnel. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you
cancel within two (2) weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We will perform the services in a professional, workmanlike manner, consistent
with industry standards. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty, we
will re -perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us, you agree to provide us with full and free access to
your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide
implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies
provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
7. Background Checks. For at least the past twelve (12) years, all of our employees have undergone
criminal background checks prior to hire. All employees sign our confidentiality agreement and
tyler
'a technologies
security policies.
8. Client Assistance. You acknowledge that the implementation of the Tyler Software is a cooperative
process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You agree to use all reasonable efforts
to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to meet the agreed upon project
deadlines and other milestones for implementation. This cooperation includes at least working with
us to schedule the implementation -related services outlined in this Agreement. We will not be
liable for failure to meet any deadlines and milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or
to the failure by your personnel to provide such cooperation and assistance (either through action
or omission).
9. Maintenance and Support. For so long as you timely pay your SaaS Fees according to the Invoicing
and Payment Policy, then in addition to the terms set forth in the SLA and the Support Call Process,
we will:
9.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and workmanlike
manner, consistent with industry standards, to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to
any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.2 provide support during our established support hours;
9.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third
Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
9.4 make available to you all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements)
that we make generally available without additional charge to customers who have a
maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
9.5 provide non -Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with
any applicable release life cycle policy.
We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. Currently, we use a third -party
secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, you agree
to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You
agree to provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably
require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to assist with
proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols. If we cannot
resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, we will
be responsible for our travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was
required was a reason outside our control. Either way, you agree to provide us with full and free access
to the Tyler Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the
equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for
us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us. We strongly recommend
that you also maintain your VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support (unless
Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (b) application design;
(c) other consulting services; or (d) support outside our normal business hours as listed in our then -
'a tech iologies
current Support Call Process. Requested services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to
you on a time and materials basis at our then current rates. You must request those services with at
least one (1) weeks' advance notice.
SECTION D —THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
1. Third Party Hardware. We will sell, deliver, and install onsite the Third Party Hardware, if you have
purchased any, for the price set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in
accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
2. Third Party Software. As part of the SaaS Services, you will receive access to the Third Party
Software and related documentation for internal business purposes only. Your rights to the Third
Party Software will be governed by the Third Party Terms.
3. Third Party Products Warranties.

3.2 The Third Party Hardware will be new and unused, and upon payment in full, you will receive
free and clear title to the Third Party Hardware.
3.3 You acknowledge that we are not the manufacturer of the Third Party Products. We do not
warrant or guarantee the performance of the Third Party Products. However, we grant and pass
through to you any warranty that we may receive from the Developer or supplier of the Third
Party Products.
4. Third Party Services. If you have purchased Third Party Services, those services will be provided
independent of Tyler by such third -party at the rates set forth in the Investment Summary and in
accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
SECTION E - INVOICING AND PAYMENT; INVOICE DISPUTES
1. Invoicing and Payment. We will invoice you the SaaS Fees and fees for other professional services in
the Investment Summary per our Invoicing and Payment Policy, subject to Section E(2).
2. Invoice Disputes. If you believe any delivered software or service does not conform to the
warranties in this Agreement, you will provide us with written notice within thirty (30) days of your
receipt of the applicable invoice. The written notice must contain reasonable detail of the issues
you contend are in dispute so that we can confirm the issue and respond to your notice with either a
justification of the invoice, an adjustment to the invoice, or a proposal addressing the issues
presented in your notice. We will work with you as may be necessary to develop an action plan that
outlines reasonable steps to be taken by each of us to resolve any issues presented in your notice.
You may withhold payment of the amount(s) actually in dispute, and only those amounts, until we
complete the action items outlined in the plan. If we are unable to complete the action items
outlined in the action plan because of your failure to complete the items agreed to be done by you,
then you will remit full payment of the invoice. We reserve the right to suspend delivery of all SaaS
Services, including maintenance and support services, if you fail to pay an invoice not disputed as
described above within fifteen (15) days of notice of our intent to do so.

2.1 Failure to Pay SaaS Fees. You acknowledge that continued access to the SaaS Services is
contingent upon your timely payment of SaaS Fees. If you fail to timely pay the SaaS Fees, we

receiving written notice of our intent to terminate.

breach of this Agreement within the thirty (30) day window set forth in Section H(3).

suspends performance of the SaaS Services for a period of forty-five (45) days or more.

sufficient to utilize the SaaS Services, you may unilaterally terminate this Agreement upon thirty
(30) days written notice to us. You will not be entitled to a refund or offset of previously paid,

substitute for termination for convenience.
3. Return of Data. In the event of termination of the Agreement, and upon reasonable advance notice,
Tyler shall promptly make all Data available to you in the format of the database or other such
format as may be mutually agreed upon, provided through Tyler's FTP server or such other secure

Tyler Software, we may, at our expense and without obligation to do so, either: (a) procure for
you the right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non -infringing; or (c) replace it with a
functional equivalent, in which case you will stop running the allegedly infringing Tyler Software
immediately. Alternatively, we may decide to litigate the claim to judgment, in which case you
may continue to use the Tyler Software consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to paying any adverse final
judgment (or settlement to which we consent), we will, at our option, either: (a) procure the
right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non -infringing; or (c) replace it with a functional
equivalent. This section provides your exclusive remedy for third party copyright, patent, or
