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.

Businesses that may break recession's hold - 03/13/2010
As Elkhart County continues to be part-barometer of the U.S. economy, National Public Radio checks in on three industries that have a role in the region's health: electric vehicles, band instruments, and tourism. Listen to the in-depth pieces through this link.
