ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEEK - May 8-12

Showcasing the importance of economic development in your community.

We all know that economic development is critical. It is the foundational work that helps to create jobs, support businesses, and improve the quality of life in communities large and small.

We encourage municipalities, large and small, to formally recognize and celebrate May 8-12, 2023 as "Economic Development Week" in their community and take part in our Community Challenge.
