Looking back – How have we (New North) done? The New North was born out of frustration with a slow economic recovery. A plan was laid out, strategies were set forth and for four years we have been working at that plan. How have we done? What can we point to that wouldn’t have happened but for New North? What do others think of our New North plan? Is the plan still on target? Can we measure some concrete results? What didn’t get done and do we still need to complete some important initiatives?  

Looking ahead- Guess what? Another economic challenge with this recession – the deepest economic slow down since WWII. What now? How does the current plan fit the New Normal of the US Economy? Where are the growth opportunities in the New Economy? How does New North help to position the region for a global economy which will likely have more economic cycles in the short term? Where is our competitive advantage and how do we make it work to produce a better economic future for the region?  

So what do you think New North?
