Hank Hyatt, Fred Baus and David Hughes at the Federal Reserve Conference
Congratulations to our VP of Economic Development Hank Hyatt for being chosen by the Federal Reserve to present our Regional Economic Scorecard!
Hyatt, together with President and CEO of the University Center of Greenville Fred Baus and David
Hughes, Ph.D. with the Clemson Institute for Economic and Community Development, presented one of three case studies at the Unleashing the Power of Local Data Conference hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank last week in Richmond, VA. According to Hyatt, "The Federal Reserve was highlighting innovative uses of local data to drive community change and the Regional Economic Scorecard is a prime example of how we can use data to focus broad community attention on improving regional prosperity. The research work done by Clemson University has been invaluable in promoting a holistic framework for economic development that will certainly lead to a stronger competitive position for our region."
Cynthia Barnett, author of Mirage: Florida and the Vanishing Water of the Eastern U.S. and Blue Revolution: Unmaking America's Water Crisis, will be speaking about a water ethic for America and South Carolina.
