Rethinking Rural Economic Development- GIS Planning

Rethinking Rural Economic Development

GIS Planning

The opportunities and challenges for economic developers in rural areas can look very different in a post-pandemic world, with a significant increase overall in rural migration, demand for rural housing, changing workforce, and the increased need to support small businesses. It's clear that small towns and rural areas can be seen as big opportunities for prospective investors, particularly in a world where one's online presence is not limited by brick-and-mortar or population size. This webinar brings together economic developers from rural regions for a discussion of opportunities, challenges and creative strategies. Host Alissa Sklar, Ph.D., VP Marketing at GIS Planning welcomes guests Terry Burroughs, board chair at FHERO(Florida's Heartland Region of Opportunity), Rayna Teicheira, economic development director at the City of Navasota (TX) and others from across the US and Canada.
