When it comes to economic prosperity, the significance of place cannot be overstated. In the United States, while some cities and states flourish, others are left grappling with economic stagnation.   The Upjohn Institute has just released of a comprehensive report that delves into effective strategies for community-based economic development.   Titled "Policies for Place: How to Make Sustainable Investments in Communities," this report offers insights into key areas such as:   - Increasing equitable access to higher education - Improving the availability of childcare and eldercare services - Understanding the impact of remote work on rural communities - Designing effective business incentive programs to attract new investments

Investments in Caring PA, an online toolkit for businesses to better support their working families and quality child care, highlights an array of options (from small to larger investments) for employers to consider. Keeping in mind that all businesses have different needs and capacity to be a part of the solution for child care for their employees, the online toolkit also outlines organizations that can assist with technical assistance, needs assessments, or the creation of on-site backup care.

Yesterday, Governor Hochul delivered her 2024 State of the State Address. We released a statement including the following quote from Chapter President Brian Sampson: "Our chief concern continues to be the utilization of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) and the application of prevailing wages to private work. These do nothing other than steer contracts to preferred companies and make New York even less affordable. New York continues to be the last state in the nation with the outdated Scaffold Law, it also has an overly generous and often fraudulent Workers Compensation program, both of which severely increase the cost of insurance. These added costs are transferred to projects which makes them unaffordable. It’s why the state continues to use a pothole approach to repair our roads, bridges, sewers, broadband and other public infrastructure. These harmful policies are why New York has some of the worst-graded roads and bridges in the country. It’s also a key driver in why we continue to struggle to fix our energy grid and why vast areas of the state don’t have access to broadband."
