Yesterday the Greater Durham (NC) Chamber of Commerce launched a four year economic development initiative aimed at creating 9000 jobs.  The comprehensive plan called Vision 3D focuses on Economic Development, Talent & Workforce Development and Community Development.

The Durham Chamber has adopted a regional focus with this economic development initiative:

"Focusing on our region as opposed to individual cities unifies our resources and strengthens our position when competing for new businesses and the jobs that come with them," said Casey Steinbacher, President & CEO of the Durham Chamber. "Our competition for projects tends to be communities much larger than our area. By working as a Corridor we provide more advantages that help level the playing field."
