UW-La Crosse, in cooperation with State Bank
Financial and the La Crosse Tribune, initiated a long-term study in early
2002 of our region's economic indicators. The research is ongoing and
focuses on trends for a nine-county region that includes counties in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. This project is expected to continuously
build a base of economic information and provide decision makers with
valuable tools for strategic planning. The information will also provide a
basis for comparison with other regions and a measure of our progress as a
region.
Semi-annual breakfast meetings provide a general
update on core indicators and also a focus on a selected economic topic.
In addition to the open forum, findings are also summarized in a print
publication distributed at the meetings and also available on the State
Bank Financial website:
http://www.statebankfinancial.com/economicindicators.php
We have also provided links to the core economic
indicators. Readers can use these links as needed for individual research
projects.
Comments and suggestions can be directed to Jan
Gallagher, Small Business Development Center Director, at
