The Hot Springs Metro Partnership will join the International Economic Development Council to celebrate National Economic Development Week May 8-13, 2017.
​
“The celebration this week is an opportunity to recognize those professional economic developers and their partners with the city, the county and the state who work diligently to help businesses bring new jobs and new investments to our area,” said Jim Fram, President & CEO.

Throughout the week, the Hot Springs Metro Partnership will highlight local economic development that took place during 2016. Additionally, economic development efforts are being showcased this week nationally with members of Congress highlighting the work of our nation’s economic developers through special resolutions that are appearing in the Congressional Record.

Last week, in recognition of the celebration, the Hot Springs City Board of Directors presented President & CEO Jim Fram with a proclamation declaring this week as “Economic Development Week in Hot Springs.”

Economic Development Week was created by The International Economic Council in commemoration of its 90-year anniversary as the largest professional membership organization for economic developers. Economic developers are charged with generating economic growth, creating better jobs for residents and facilitating an improved quality of life. The industry remains as complex, challenging and rewarding as ever.
