Creativity, passion and attention to detail provide winning combination in economic development

Winning coaches will tell you that big wins aren’t achieved during the minutes on the field or the court. They’re made in the hours of practice, reps in the gym and the time spent watching game film and studying their opponents. The same can be said of economic development. The big wins, such as the Amazon Web Services investment announced recently, are years in the making. The research, discussions and established partnerships provide the foundation for landing the deal.
