Regions 9, 10, & Mesa County
Inspired by Regions 9, 10, and Mesa County this one-day forum focused on issues that affect many communities around the state. Presentations on preparing and attracting tomorrow’s talent, supporting small business and manufacturers, and growing and attracting business to rural areas, provided attendees tools and resources to take back and implement in their own communities.
Attended by over 100 economic development professionals, policy leaders, and area businesses, the forum also addressed air service challenges that our regional and rural airports face, and the changing landscape of agriculture.
A Special Thank You to our Regional Steering Committee!
