402 - Economic Development and Planning – Natural Partners in Economic Resiliency Planning

October 13, 2021

11:45AM - 12:45PM

COVID-19 came out of left field and impacted every community worldwide.  Communities and their local economies experienced challenges that had not been encountered for over 100 years.  Decisions about recovery programs paced ahead at an unprecedented pace and economic development and planning professionals were pressed to offer solutions to business and government.
 
This session will highlight successful economic development recovery projects that brought results to local economies.   One of the key factors to the success of these initiatives is the transferable elements to future challenges.  Planning and economic development professionals are the change makers that will be critical to the sustainability of their communities moving forward.
