Discover if the Wayne County economy is growing or declining, what is causing this to happen, and what is needed to enhance the “economic quality of life” for our residents. Come join us at this unique “Briefings for Business, Economic Development Workshop” on August 29. 

Florida economic development consultant William H. Fruth will deliver a fast paced and enlightening review of our local economy describing how it compares to other areas and what has caused it to be ranked one of the best in the nation.

 One key lesson he shares is how local economies grow and expand by identifying the ten characteristics of America’s strongest local economies. These strength characteristics will help determine what Wayne County should do to keep its economy dynamic and growing.

 Fruth is the President of POLICOM Corporation, an independent economics research firm located in Palm City, Florida, which specializes in analyzing the dynamics of local and state economies. Fruth has personally examined the condition of more than 800 local economies in the United States, created more than 200 community economic studies, and has given economic development presentations and workshops in 40 states.
