This #EconDevWeek22, we're promoting the value and impact economic development brings to our communities as well as the professionals responsible for driving investment into our region.
Orlando Economic Partnership Vice President of Business Development Casey Barnes, CEcD, has dedicated 24 years to the profession. Here's what economic development means to him:
"Economic development as I see it is the intentional process of building and diversifying our economy. It doesn’t happen by accident. Helping our community compete in this hyper competitive world and bring great job opportunities for our friends and neighbors has been the most challenging, rewarding and impactful career I could have chosen. For those who love our community and want to part of something much bigger than yourself, getting involved in economic development is a way to give back and help our community transform and bring broad based prosperity for all."
