Data is a cornerstone of economic development. Companies already located in the region or con-

nies, the region’s existing company base, and NESA stakeholders. To access this new data portal,
simply visit NESASC.org and click on the Data Center tab at the top of the page. We hope you will
utilize this tool and reach out to our research team with any questions or additional data you may
need.

effective ways of recruiting. We know how important it is for clients to explore our communities
and interact with the people that will be potentially be their neighbors, partners, employees and

the regional impact of key projects which align with NESA’s mission. Our county partners are given the op-

Over the past decade, NESA grants have contributed to multiple economic development efforts across our
region and in 2020 we continued that tradition. During the 2020 grants cycle, the Executive Committee ap-
proved one County Grant and two High Impact Grants totaling $504,200.
