2021 Business Intelligence Report

We meet with over 300 business leaders each year and interview a strategic sampling of approximately 120 of them using a vetted economic development research tool. We analyze the data we collect on an annual basis and share it through the Business Intelligence Report. This report offers the business climate snapshot of our region, with challenges and opportunities facing our region's primary employers.
