This month's TalTech meeting was much more thought-provoking than I had anticipated. I had come expecting useful information, which was definitely delivered, but I came away with a bit more. The Powerpoint file, by the way, has been posted to the site now. Find it by checking out our new Events Calendar via our menu bar's Events link.

Today's TalTech lunchon brought together several practitioners of the difficult and amorphous methods of economic development.  I've always been struck by the seemingly impossible task that Economic Development groups are charged with.  Much like the economists who are struggling with our country's current financial situation, ED must find the secret pressure points of its local and regional economies and creatively stimulate those key factors to indirectly encourage growth and development where it's needed.
