Welcome to the "make you a smarter economic developer" newsletter! Thanks for spending a few minutes with us this morning.

Today we have 28 stories, graphics, charts, and videos that I think you'll find informative, useful, inspiring, and perhaps even humorous.

Today's issue is quite a bit shorter than normal, but don't worry – we'll be back next Thursday with another very long, information-dense, issue.

As always, if you find something great, please send it to me.
