Local Governments: Competing for Businesses and People

Local governments may be competing for businesses and people, as companies like Bob Evans move from Columbus to upper income areas like New Albany. What will the results of this competition be? Should these governments need to compete at all?

Guests:

  • Alex Fischer (President/CEO of Columbus Partnership)

  • Chester Jourdan, Jr. (Executive Director of MORPC)
  • E. Gordon Gee (President of the Ohio State University)
