Arlington's Economy in 2021: What Does the Future Hold?
2021 begins with much uncertainty. The approval of a vaccine means that we can see the light at the end of the coronavirus tunnel, but it could be the middle of the year before it's been distributed widely enough to get back to life as usual. Meanwhile, our economy and public services remain under pandemic restrictions, about to enter their 11th month, which makes for complicated and challenging decisions about if and how businesses and their employees can persevere through to the end.
As the second in our two-part program on Arlington’s economy, join the Committee of 100 to begin 2021 with a look at regional and local trends, what they signal for the year ahead, and what Arlington’s economy needs for success in the new year.
Confirmed Speakers:
