The Western New York Regional Economic Development Council is pleased to invite the public to five community workshops designed to get your input and aid us in the creation of a five-year economic development plan. This Strategic Plan will emphasize Western New York's strengths and unique assets. The format of the meeting is a facilitated community conversation and will include an overview of the regional council, a discussion of the strategic planning process and will utilize "clicker" technology that will allow the public to have their voices be heard regarding priorities and regional issues.

Register online at http://nyworks.ny.gov/content/western-new-york/communityworkshop, or call (716) 846-8267. All meetings will take place from 6 to 8 p.m.
