City hosts Economic Development Symposium on Aug. 30

The City of Georgetown is hosting the fifth annual Economic Development Symposium from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 30 at the Sheraton Austin Georgetown Hotel and Conference Center, 1101 Woodlawn Ave.

The symposium will feature a lunch and keynote presentation by real estate economist Mark G. Dotzour on the economic outlook for investors and business decision makers.

Each fall the Georgetown Economic Development Department invites a nationally recognized expert to share insightful analysis on a topic of importance to business owners, real estate professionals, and community leaders for its annual economic development symposium.

Past events have highlighted the impact of the presidential election on the economy, how changing retail-customer behaviors ripple through the economy, and workforce trends.

In addition to the keynote speaker, Georgetown City leaders will provide a look back at the year’s important announcements and events and give a sneak peek of those to come.
