2019 Honored Communities

The eCities project continually seeks to recognize communities that are doing great things and provide them with helpful feedback when possible. Each community has the opportunity to answer a series of short-answer questions to share their unique stories and strategies. In 2019, communities were encouraged to submit responses to questions regarding talent attraction and retention challenges, building partnerships, and business attraction. Each entry is reviewed by a panel of entrepreneurs, small business support leaders, and governmental liaisons. Communities highlighted as Honored Communities are communities that the panel found to have concise, compelling, unique, and relevant messages. Feedback is made available to those that respond to the survey.
