Welcome to 2006

Economic Development Futures would like to welcome all of its readers and subscribers to 2006.

Your area is likely to experience its fair share of both challenges and opportunities during the year. We hope that ED Futures is of some small help to you as you approach both types of situations during the next 12 months.

This is the year of "doing what is most important" for your area's economic competitiveness. As the saying goes, don't sweat the small stuff! This is also the year for strengthening your leadership for economic development. Your organization and community will need stronger leadership in 2006 to reach their top economic objectives.

We wish you great success and a very Happy New Year!
