What is going to replace all of the companies in your community that #COVID-19 killed? New businesses. Will new businesses happen? The data shows it’s already happening. In the 2008-2009 recession new business starts were anemic. Today, new businesses are exploding in growth. But you need to make sure that your community can enable it, so you get at least your fair share of the new business development and you are the economic developer who can legitimately take credit for ...enabling this growth. In the 1980s economic developers’ motto was, shoot everything that flies and claim everything that falls. In 2021 the clearest way to ride the wave of success is #entrepreneurship.
