It's Economic Development Week! Economic development is a complex field that involves strong partnerships between the public and private sectors. It encompasses a variety of industries, tools and activities that build a healthy and sustainable economy.

4 Ways Economic Development Helps The Community

 

Economic development initiatives enhance a community’s economic and social prospects. Our goal at Think Dutchess is to support and create programs that will have a lasting impact on the County. We do that by leveraging our assets like education, location and talent pool to attract new businesses. We also use data to identify supply chain partners and help identify issues to form programs that help existing businesses grow and expand. Additionally, we capitalize on the history, culture and potential of our community to attract new visitors and residents to build a strong and resilient economy. These strategies help us make an impact on the community today and in many years to come.
