It will be a great asset to our agency and communities as we continue to assist our region in a post-COVID world. The dashboard includes demographic, employment, industry, business, and consumer information to assist with economic recovery and resiliency. This dashboard is only one part of the data resource update; we also now have county dashboards containing demographic and economic data such as at-risk populations, educational attainment, and industry snapshots. The data dashboards were created to help to store data in one place and is an excellent tool to support project justifications and for strategic planning purposes. The regional dashboard automatically updates when new information is available so you have the most accurate and up-to-date information. This is not all the data we have to offer!
