As the oil and gas energy industry declines in our area, local leaders are looking for ways to fill the economic gap. But to do that, they need data.
The Region 9 economic development district studies the economic trends in the region, collects data, and complies that data for the leaders and the public. To learn more about what the district does, KSJD's Gail Binkly sat down with the executive director of the Region 9 Economic Development District of Southwest Colorado, Laura Marchino.
Full disclosure: Region 9 has been a financial supporter of KSJD.
