Economic Development Performance Measures

Measuring economic 发展 goes well beyond looking at the retention and creation of jobs in a community.  Ideally, your metrics should be tied to the specific goals of your economic 发展 strategy.  This is a sample list of metrics by category that CALED members used to measure the impact of their activities.  This is not a comprehensive list, nor is it a universal list that all economic 发展 programs should be measured against.  If you would like to contribute sample metrics to this list, please contact CALED.
