Yesterday, Middle Rio Grande Development Council, MRGDC hosted its Economic Development Regional Forum, bringing together community leaders and organizations to talk about the future of our communities and the opportunities ahead.

The SBDC was honored to participate as a panelist in the conversation, which focused on economic growth, workforce development, infrastructure, regional collaboration, community partnerships, and future opportunities that impact our communities.

A table was also available at the event where SBDC resources were shared with attendees, and connections were made with community partners and local organizations.
