The Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority’s Regular Monthly Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 5:30 PM at the Industrial Authority Conference Room, 2110 N. Patterson Street.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last meeting, VLCIA Executive Director Andrea Schruijer told me the results of the focus groups would be presented this month. Maybe she meant at this meeting. On the VLCIA facebook page<\/a>, there’s this paragraph from 14 August 2012:<\/p>\n

\n

We are excited to present our final Target Business Analysis to the community at the end of August. We took at 360 degree approach to targeting economic development activity concentrating on employment, workforce skill, investment, and innovation to identify clusters of economic activity and developing targeted strategies for economic development.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/a> It links to this (unembeddable) video<\/a> of Andrea Schruijer talking about cluster analysis. It’s good they’re branching out to new ways of doing PR. It would be even better if they also published agendas and minutes with content.<\/p>\n

Here’s the (content-free) agenda<\/a> for today’s meeting:<\/p>\n
