DHS 2040

Economic Development

Looking beyond individual projects to the industries, businesses and investments that could create durable local value.

What kinds of growth create lasting value?

DHS 2040 looks beyond simply attracting individual projects.

The research asks questions such as:

  • What industries fit Desert Hot Springs particularly well?
  • What kinds of businesses are residents leaving the city to use elsewhere?
  • What development generates jobs and sustainable local revenue?
  • Where can hospitality and wellness continue growing?
  • How can local entrepreneurs participate in that growth?
  • And which investments could unlock additional private investment afterward?

The City’s current planning framework already prioritizes high-quality freeway-corridor development, Downtown business development and substantial growth in the Hotel/Spa Zone.
