We are pleased to announce our speakers for this year's Barton County Community Outlook Event. These state and local experts will be on hand to provide perspectives on issues affecting business, industry, education, and government. The speakers will also provide insight and guidance into how COVID-19 has impacted business opportunities and what Kansas business might expect over the coming twelve months.
Jeremy Hill, director of the Center for Economic Development and Business Research at Wichita State University, will talk about the current economic conditions, economic drivers for the state and regional economies, and general expectations over the coming months. Topics to be included are labor demand, costs, and wages. Sara Hayden, Great Bend Economic Development President, will provide an in-depth analysis of the local economy, with assistance from CEDBR.
The cost to attend an event is $50, which includes the forecast booklets ($100 value).
All attendees will receive a one-year subscription to CEDBR’s forecast booklets. The center has developed two in-depth publications and reference guides on regional and statewide economic conditions in Kansas.
