Best place for business. Best place to live. Best quality of life. Raleigh and Wake County continue to rank among the most competitive metros in the nation. At Metro Metrics: Perspectives from Peer Communities, we will take a deep dive into both data and firsthand experiences on what it takes to build a community of “What’s Next.”
First, we will hear from Ted Abernathy of Economic Leadership, as he presents the latest metro comparison data from the top 100 largest metros across the United States. A dataset of more than 268 comparative metrics is aggregated into six indexes to highlight key business growth and site selection decision factors. Together, we will discover how the Raleigh metro stays ahead of the competition.
Next, we will be joined by economic development leaders from three peer metros to discuss the similarities and differences between our regions, and how they have managed their own successes, growth, challenges, and opportunities.
