Background; Evansville Economic Development Plan

(ed.note: The following is from the City of Evansville news release:)

Economic Development Information Interviews:

The number one goal of the Evansville's Economic Development Plan is to create an "alliance" or "organization" to oversee economic development for Evansville's future. The mission of this entity will be implementation of the Economic Development Plan. But it will also coordinate and consolidate efforts by the City, the Chamber of Commerce, and others, thus reducing duplication of effort and inefficient use of our resources.
With this in mind, the City's Economic Development Committee is hosting a series of information interviews with existing economic development organizations to learn about their structure and see if a similar organization may be a fit for Evansville. This is our opportunity to learn from their successes and their missteps.
On Wednesday, November 19, John Beckord, President of Forward Janesville will answer questions about their organization and how they address economic development. The information interview is from noon to 1:00 at the Bank of Evansville community room. Lunch - sandwich, chips, cookie and soda - will be available for $7.
To learn more about the Economic Development Plan and how the business community has participated in its development, please see http://www.ci.evansville.wi.gov/Summit.htm.
