I am very excited to announce that NCI will be working with the Public Policy Research Center to develop a North County Economic Community Profile over the next year. NCI has contracted with PPRC to research and develop a community profile of economic activity in north St. Louis County. The profile will include the business structure, transportation and utility infrastructure, education/training, and business financing tools available to respond to economic development opportunities. The research project will use federal data sources such as the U.S. Census and the Bureau of Economic analysis, as well as an inventory of commercial and residential development underway or planned in north St. Louis County. The data analyzed will establish current conditions and trends. PPRC will provide a Graduate Research Assistant to conduct the data collection and analysis. The project is funded by a grant NCI received from the US Bank Foundation. For more information, please CLICK HERE.
Best Regards,
President/CEO
