The Cost of Getting This Wrong

Every day a Economic Development Manager position stays open, your organization loses ground.

Communities without effective economic development lose businesses and talent to competing regions

The role requires expertise in incentive packages, site selection, workforce development, and marketing

Finding candidates who can work with both business leaders and community stakeholders is rare
