Competitiveness Study/Economic Impact
What is the value and impact of your organization on your community or region?
The competitiveness process allows communities or organizations to realize their potential as well as target markets for new business and job growth.
Economic Baseline Assessment
The Economic Baseline Assessment provides a snapshot of the community’s economic standing demonstrating where it stands economically, based on:

The assessment also provides a baseline against which to compare progress for a subsequent strategic plan to be executed.
