It’s a new year. With a new year comes the inevitable focus on resolutions and goals and measurements. Most resolutions focus on fitness and the losing (or gaining) of a few pounds. Our resolutions don’t have to be only personal ones, however. We can apply the same principle to our economic or community development goals.
What do you wish to accomplish this year in your community? More importantly, how will you measure your community’s economic waist line? There are a number of tools available to assist you in this:
- MyPeg (Specific for Winnipeg, but may offer a great example for other cities and communities)
- Community Economic Development Capacity Index. Sorry I do not have a link for it, you will have to email me to request a copy. You can either subscribe to my blog through email (see the text box on the right). Or you can leave a comment with your email address. Since I moderate comments, I will not be post any comment with your email since I do not wish to expose your email address to potential spammers.
Using tools like these, you can establish a baseline and measure your progress as you go through the year.
Happy resolution making!
