A Stronger Focus on Small Firms Needed - 08/02/2010
A recent article from Harvard
Business Review confirms a key reality to
spurring job growth in communities: research
shows support for small firms pays off better.
"Instead of trying to buy their way out of a
recession with one big break to one big employer,
politicians should reduce costs for start-up
companies and small businesses," the authors
wrote.
Designing Creative Communities - 06/07/2010
One sign of a healthy community is the integration
of creativity into its mindset. An area
exploration of artist galleries, design shops and
media works reveal a strong foundation to this
kind of thinking. It is an important start. We
think it can get better and bigger. Consider what
ways you can make unique connections and
cross-pollination in your industry. Make a stop by
Junk
Evolution and Art Post -
or your nearest creative shop - for a spark.
Will We See a Friendly Summer for Fuel Prices? - 05/27/2010
One of the few downsides to the Summer season is
the traditional spike in fuel prices - but now,
energy experts predict that prices will stay even
- if not slightly
drop. As area companies attempt to grab a piece of
the economic recovery-this is welcome news. It's
also good for consumers - who may open their
wallets more as part of their tourism spending.
Radio Shake-up: Shows On the Move - 05/24/2010
A major switch on the dials of some local radio
stations has listeners updating their habits.
Right-wing talkers Limbaugh and Beck are
now airing on former FM rocker 95.3 WAOR - moved
from AM960 WSBT by the syndication company. WSBT
said its going to try more local talk and sports.
Area Events Enjoying Fresh Energy - 05/24/2010
Regional communities are coming up with more
unique events to draw visitors, encourage local
civic pride, and get people involved in their
hometowns. The recent Bike the Bend drew nearly
2,000 riders to the welcoming streets and paths of
South Bend, Mishawaka and St. Joseph County. Chic
wine and art fairs in Berrien County are full of
creative pizazz, and Goshen's groundbreaking First
Fridays has developed a loyal following. Whether
its borrowed ideas or a new take on lasting
traditions, cheers to those moving get-togethers
in fresh directions.
Bidding for an online giant's favor - 04/14/2010
If South Bend leaders can convince Google that the
city is ideal for the internet giant's evaluation
of ultra high-speed access to a community -- the
win would be a major one. Touting its existing
fiber optic network and burgeoning high-tech
development parks, economic officials conducted an
online survey and has launched a Web
pitch called "The IP City." Reports
say the competition is tight (Elkhart is vying
too) with scores of other municipalities making
similar bids. A win would be a major PR and
development coup.
