WHAT: To kick off the New Year we will be hosting three FREE in-person local Economic Outlooks in January - think of these as localized spinoffs of everyone's favorite event, the DMAR Economic Summit. Our Economic Outlooks are your chance to hear firsthand from local experts about the economic future of where you live and work. Not only are these informative but they are also FREE for DMAR members. For our Jefferson + Adams county update, we'll be joined by Jansen Tidmore, President/CEO at Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation, as well as Jenni Grafton, Director of the Adams County Community & Economic Development Department. You'll get a snapshot of the economy, updates including major traffic pattern changes and their 2022 goals for building economic prosperity. 

PRICE: FREE for Members

COVID-19 GUIDELINES: County law requires the use of a face-covering in public places, regardless of whether you have been vaccinated or not. Per the current county mandates, all DMAR attendees are required to wear a face-covering during in-door events, classes and meetings.
