The Niagara USA Chamber of Commerce, the leading advocate for business in Niagara County, kicked off the first in their new Economic Vision Signature Series on Monday, November 14th at 8:00 AM at the Conference Center Niagara Falls titled “2012 and Beyond. Creating a Vibrant Future”.
The event, sponsored by National Grid, featured keynote speaker Gary Keith, Vice President and Regional Economist with M&T Bank. Niagara USA Chamber’s economic vision initiative envisions a county built on a vibrant and robust economy. By convening the best minds, Mr. Keith and over 75 community stakeholders addressed important economic questions, such as:
- What are the national trends and what is the outlook for 2012?
- Is Niagara County winning or losing with regard to regional economic performance?
- What are the economic advantages to be capitalized on and challenges for future growth in the county?
