GREGG - Key Persons
Gregg designs and develops national initiatives to assemble and apply large economic data sets. Gregg's "apps" continue to be a leading resource for economic-development groups, policy makers, and researchers around the country, Far East, Canada, and Europe.
By spring of 2024, Gregg had uniquely developed several versions of the YTS (YourEconomy Time Series) database, including a quarterly time series during Covid resulting in a semi-annual time series version available today.
Mark's areas of expertise include business development and technical assistance, data-driven strategies for economic development, second-stage business development and local economy statistics. Those who work with Mark know his humor is always present and relationships are important to him.
Some of the favorite aspects of his work are engaging with people who are dedicated to their craft and expertise and using teams to solve problems and build programs. Interacting with economic developers at all levels to help them learn new business development strategies and data to measure, report and influence business activity within their region is very meaningful to Mark. He enjoys learning from those same economic developers as they interact with the wide variety of support organizations and community stakeholders to serve local economies.
