Community Roundtable introducing Business Retention and Expansion Plan
Name:
Community Roundtable introducing Business Retention and Expansion Plan
Date:
October 11, 2013
Time:
7:30 AM - 9:00 AM PDT
Event Description:
In addition to our regular Community Roundtable discussions Nick Harville, SEDCOR, will give a short video presentation on a Business Retention and Expansion program.
"Research shows that up to 86% of new jobs are created by existing businesses in a community, rather than businesses attracted to a community. Keeping an existing business in the community is usually easier than recruiting a new business. Therefore, a Business Retention and Expansion or BR&E program has offerings that help community leaders and communities to work together to identify barriers local businesses face as they try to survive and grow. Those barriers and other issues can be widely varied from the look of a community to the services provide and others.
With the help of OSU and SEDCOR expertise, the community personally interviews local businesses and analyzes the results. The resulting report provides valuable information and ideas to invigorate the local economy through targeted action. BR&E reports don't sit on a shelf. Because the BR&E process leads the community through three major steps - Research, Prioritize, Implement - ideas turn into action." Nick Harville
