After too many years of trying to climb out of recession, the Washington County economy, as measured by employment rates and economic activity, is definitely tracking strong gains. The summit will reflect this positive outlook, featuring projects up to 18 months in the future.
“Our speakers will show how the economic landscape in Southern Utah is changing in a very positive direction,” Economic Development Director Scott Hirschi said.
In addition to the ballroom breakfast and lunch sessions, the summit will also feature 11 breakout sessions designed to help participants make critical decisions in the coming year.
Interspersed throughout the day’s activities, summit participants are invited to become better acquainted with some of Washington County’s companies at the business showcase. The Garden Room showcase will feature customer service and technology companies, as well as introducing start-up firms in the Dixie Business Resource Center incubator.
