Washington&rsquo\;s economy is booming
\n\nIs this true for your business and community?
\n\n\;
\n\nSo much goes into starting and sustaining a business\, including finding the right talent. Too many young people are moving away from our small towns\, and it can be tough for rural businesses to access the marketplace. That&rsquo\;s why we&rsquo\;re holding a series of Rural Community Vitality Forums in April and May to ask local businesses what&rsquo\;s working\, and what&rsquo\;s not. Your ground-level perspective can help us take action on issues that will make a difference to you and your community. \;
\n\n\;
\n\nWe&rsquo\;re listening\, and so is the U.S. Department of Labor
\n\nThis rural &ldquo\;listening tour&rdquo\; is brought to you by the state&rsquo\;s Workforce Board\, which helps convene and oversee the state&rsquo\;s workforce system. An economist from the Workforce Board will provide a snapshot of the local economy. Then a federal facilitator from the U.S. Department of Labor will help us capture your comments and frame next steps. Once the comments are compiled you&rsquo\;ll have a chance to provide input before a report is provided to state and federal policymakers. This is your chance to be heard\, and make a difference where you live.
\n \;
The Business Breakfast will take place \;from 7:30 am &ndash\; 9:00 am and the \;Rural Community Listening Forum is from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
