Q5: A New Day in Economic Development

This group identified each and laid out a strategy to transform the local economy. They committed to engage fully in funding and working together accomplish their vision of:
-
4,500 new and retained jobs in five years

$2.6 billion in new wealth

379 new firms in the metro area
