he Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville (GAGE) released today, its 2011 Annual Report to the Community.

The Growth Alliance began 2011 with new areas of strategic focus, a reallocation of resources, and specific performance objectives. GAGE focused on their mission of bringing jobs and revenue growth to Evansville and Vanderburgh County and met or exceeded those objectives by focusing on attraction, retention, and expansion of businesses that can drive long-term sustainable economic growth; as well as on new business incubation and technology commercialization.

In addition to the economic and community development accomplishments outlined in the Annual Report, GAGE developed a Business Licensing and Permitting Guide and a variety of promotional materials used to attract and retain businesses and workers in Evansville and Vanderburgh County. New this year, the Growth Alliance implemented economic impact modeling to accurately evaluate projects. GAGE also conducted multiple entrepreneur workshops and obtained Shovel Ready Certification for another local property.

GAGE President Debbie Dewey says, “We look forward to more success in 2012. We will continue to drive a City Branding effort, operate as the One Stop Resource for Business in Greater Evansville, and participate in establishing a technology corridor vision for the region.”
