Job Growth Initiative

Below is a link to an article by Steve Berg which is very timely as 2020 Partners prepares to discuss its workplan for 2011. The article is about regional economic development and touches on 3 valuable points that apply directly to the industrial district we are trying to transform:

1. Develop Green Manufacturing
2. Locate new jobs along transit corridors
3. The importance of identity in distinguishing a place and its opportunities

I hope to see you at the next meeting. Here’s the link:
