In June, I joined over 450 economic development representatives at the CALED (California Economic Development Association) conference. I shared challenges we are experiencing in Nevada County with other economic development partners and state agency leaders. As I sift through the information I brought back, I promise to share the resources and information that will serve your business needs in the coming year.
Please let me know what topics and information would be valuable to share in our e-news. Plus, you can help us grow by forwarding this e-news out and encouraging people to subscribe.
Wishing you success,
