I arrived at the Howard County Economic Development Authority’s (HCEDA) recent annual meeting in time for dessert. (It was chocolate-y, rich and rather tasty.) I also got there in time for the awards. (They were short, sweet and inspiring.) However, I didn’t get there in time to see / hear / witness the report on the state of the county, vis-à-vis the EDA’s eyes. But I did discover that there is an online presentation of the report. Sounds dreadful, doesn’t it? Do thoughts of yawn-inducing PowerPoint presentations start to fill your head? I don’t know about you, but the words “stats,” “government” and “annual report” together in one sentence make me nervous.
Happily, the HCEDA annual report presentation is rather easy on the eyes and ears. And worth a listen. You’ll find the link to the report here, and the voice you’re hearing is none other than Howard County Economic Development Authority CEO Dick Story.
