Description
The Real Story Behind Site Selection, Growth, and Economic Development. Why do some communities attract while others don't? Is it tax incentives? Politics? Luck? Or is there something more? Successful economic development isn't magic - it's strategy. Join Ryan McCrady and Abby Powell from the Springfield Sangamon Growth Alliance for a behind-the-scenes look at how Springfield and Sangamon County compete for jobs, investment, and long-term economic growth. Free coffee and networking at 7:30 am. Program begins at 8:00 am. 217-523-2787
