It’s Your Biz: Business Outlook, Vision for Monroe County - How We’re Getting There

Everything in our community is connected. The success of a business is not limited to the conditions in the building in which it operates. Our team at the Bloomington Economic Development Corp. (BEDC) often hears from local and regional employers about their broader ecosystem needs, such as housing, transportation, workforce, infrastructure, broadband and more. These needs are often shared between employers, regardless of size or industry, and affect their businesses, their workers and our neighbors.

The strategy will create a shared vision for the future, while integrating existing efforts from across the community and region. By having agreed-upon goals and objectives, partners across sectors can tackle shared challenges by rowing in the same direction.
