What does economic development look like these days in a post-COVID era? Blueprint Creative Group presents this podcast series with perspectives from the CEOs and leaders of economic development organizations across the country. This series also explores how the pandemic has dynamically shifted how communities align with the trend towards a different quality of life standard based on new social distancing norms and cost of living compared to previous preferences for amenities, downtown living, and density. The CEOs share how this shift may shape economic development moving forward, how shadow communities are rising to the occasion to compete with larger metropolitan cities, and the implications for targeted industry growth.Blueprint Creative Group works with communities and economic development organizations to impact economic indexes through targeted industry promotion, business attraction, and tourism growth.
