New Stats Posted on Region's Economy
This week we posted new graphs that highlight changes in the Black Hills economy including a county-by-county comparison of personal income derived from government sources like Social Security or veteran's benefits. We have also added two new charts that compare the growth in our metropolitan economy (described as gross domestic product) compared to sister cities in surrounding states. Both of these graphs should be of interest to your local Chamber of Commerce and policymakers in your community.

Nerdery to Deliver Plans for Redesign
The programmers at the Nerdery in the Twin Cities have been working on recommendations for restructuring the Black Hills Knowledge Network to make it more user friendly. Their ideas will be embodied in a set of wireframes they plan to deliver to us next week. We'll be sending a copy of their plans to all the library partners and welcome your feedback.
