Editor's Notes
- Talked about new projects, industrial parks and commercial districts, real estate and growing our tax base. We’ve also covered topics like competitiveness, target markets and “leakage” of dollars from the community. Thinking about 2011 and where we’ve been in the last year, and where we are going, the subject really has to be about jobs. \\ There is not much time so we’ll be focusing on jobs we want to have and what it takes to attract them.
- MetroNECTA = Metro New England City and Town Area (statistical area) Ours includes the tri-cities plus Springvale/Sanford M#Employment Security and DOL do most statistic by area. There is significant cross over between communities within the metro.
- Census has changed, and no longer has a short and long form. They decided that 10 years between didn’t give us current enough info, and started doing surveys called American Community Survey, which is a modified long form. It will take some time, but already we are able to access some data in betwee decennial census. The new census data is not yet available. Economic developers from our metro have discussed a specific workforce survey but have no plans to complete one in the ear future. It is a project that could become part of out area CEDS (Certified Economic Development Strategy being coordinated by Southeast Economic Development Corp. and Strafford Regional Planning.)
