Avoiding Risk: Economic Growth Strategies – Indianapolis, IN

Held

Info

While the national economy continues to grow, storm clouds are brewing. Past experience shows the business cycle can peak without warning, exposing states’ fiscal and economic vulnerabilities.

To prepare for an uncertain future, state policy makers must always sharpen their long-term economic development approach. Planning for opportunities and risks requires an honest evaluation of a state’s economy and fiscal health – both strengths and weaknesses.

Please join us in Indianapolis, Indiana for a luncheon presentation by REMI Economist Peter Evangelakis, Ph.D. and REMI Economic Associate Harry Walsh discussing long-range planning to weather future shortfalls and take advantage of untapped potential.
