Business Roundtable - Quality of Place

In a world where people choose their communities before selecting their employers, quality of place matters. Citizens expect their communities to provide aspects of health and well-being, which creates the feeling of belong and a sense of home. This is a conscious approach to economic development that goes beyond brick and mortar.

This GNDC Business Roundtable is open to those who are looking to explore aspects of quality of place components. Each community, no matter the size, should be considering what priorities are in place to attract workforce, businesses, and residents. 

Attendees who want to network with other business leaders or want to learn more about growing communities are invited to attend.
