  • Increasing the tax base for cities, counties, villages and other governments to support critical programming
  • Attracting talented, skilled workers
  • Understanding and growing the “ripple effect” of primary industry jobs creating demand for non-primary industry jobs in health care, service-based, personal real estate, etc.
  • Lifting communities out of poverty by creating employment opportunities
