Economic developers are at the center of economic recovery and resiliency. As the boots-on-the-ground professionals
charged with assisting businesses, they can inform policy makers and local leaders on what is needed to create an environment
where employers can thrive. Economic development helps increase revenue to the jurisdiction, so it can provide the services,
amenities, and quality of life that residents desire.
Although we cannot always predict or avoid disasters or economic disruptions, being strategic and planning for resiliency will
better prepare your community to meet future challenges that cause economic disruptions and will advantageously position it
for a faster recovery.
