A Global MarketTroy must adopt a strategy to positionitself globally, in terms of internationalbusiness connections and with regardto marketing its assets to attract worldwideinvestment. Southeast Michigan is a regionfounded on innovation in industry. Troy is acommunity within that region with uniqueattributes which will empower it to serve asa gateway in the 21st century between thisimportant region and the rest of the world. Forinstance, Troy has a much higher percentage offoreign-born residents than any community inthe area, nearly 20 percent, or double that overOakland County on average. Troy’s foreignbornpopulation is over 62 percent Asian, whichprovides a unique opportunity to link Troy withthe fast-growing markets of Asia. Figures 2.1 and2.2 demonstrate these statistics. The Troy Vision2020 Wealth Creation Task Force specificallymentioned Troy’s Asian population as a asset forworldwide outreach.The International PopulationTroy has embraced international populationsand now benefits from a great deal of diversity.The courses of action recommended by TroyVision 2020 for the City’s Asian population areapplicable for any potential international group.For instance, Troy Vision 2020 suggests that theCity should partner with local Asian businessleaders to promote the City in Asia. This couldbe applied to any country or region of the world.The City should consider developing a taskforce of international ambassadors for Troy, torepresent the community around the world.The Vision 2020 recommendation thatthe international community within Troy beencouraged to participate more actively incommunity affairs is also an important taskfor the City to accomplish. By engaging theinternational population of Troy more actively,and collaborating with people from around theworld, Troy will benefit from broad points ofview and an international perspective.Empowering International InvestorsThis City plays a central role in theestablishment of a new business or theredevelopment of an old business. Approvalsand permitting for new facility construction,provision of City services, taxing policies, andother elements of City governance must all betaken into account when a business investigatespotential locations or markets. These complexelements become even more intimidatingFigure 2.1 Percent Foreign Born20.018.016.014.012.010.08.06.04.02.00.0TroySterling HeightsRochester HillsAuburn HillsWarrenOakland CountyBirminghamRoyal OakPontiacDetroitFigure 2.2 Area of Origin by Percentage,Foreign Born Troy ResidentsAsia , 62.6Europe, 23.4Africa, 2.8Oceana, 0.3Latin America, 3.7North America,7.110 CHAPTER 2: CONTEXT
CITY OF TROY MASTER PLANfor international businesses, who may befacing hurdles with regard to language orunderstanding of Federal, State, or local laws andregulations.With this in mind, the City should considerpartnering with the Chamber of Commerceand Automation Alley to create a “hub” forinternational investors to find assistance inthese areas. Project managers assigned topotential investors could help these businessesfind real estate opportunities, obtain legalor accounting consultation, or overcomecommunication barriers. These projectmanagers would connect Troy’s resources withthose who would most benefit from them tomake the City a partner for the companiesconsidering Michigan in their business plans.Troy in the Regional EconomyThe use of effective communication is akey ingredient of building and nurturingpartnerships or celebrating social,economic and physical diversity. Communicationmust include all forms of transmissionand media. The importance of regionalcollaboration, a sentiment echoed by Troy Vision2020, which stresses that Troy is part of a greaterregion, which must grow together for Troy tomeet its full potential.
