From the Economic Development Council

The economy in San Juan County is showing signs of recovery, but how quickly will we get back to business as usual?  What will the economy bring in the next year – both here in San Juan County and on a global scale?

Join Dave Wallace, senior-level Economic Analyst with Washington State and former Acting Chief Economist, as he outlines the economic climate we face today, during the San Juan County Economic Development Council’s 2012 Economic Forecast Luncheon on Wednesday, April 25.

Also featured will be Mark Anderson, CEO of Strategic News Service. SNS was the first subscription-based newsletter on the Internet, and is read by Bill Gates, Michael Dell, and industry leaders and investors in computing and communications worldwide.
