Adams Economic Alliance, PA
3 ways Adams County uses technology to drive economic development
Challenge
With most businesses turning to the internet first to find the answers they need, the Adams Economic Alliance recognized their website lacked the information people wanted to know about Adams County. Building a new website was not an option. Instead, the Alliance wanted an innovative and cost-effective way to enhance their existing website with online tools that helped drive business retention, expansion and attraction.
Solution
Working closely with the Alliance, Localintel selected a set of online economic development tools from our catalog to help them:
- Promote the county’s advantages
- Assist businesses with information needs
- Monitor trends and change in the county’s economy
We then integrated the tools directly into the Alliance’s existing website. Minimal time and effort was required from Alliance staff to implement the project.
Outcomes
The powerful set of online assets is generating a range of benefits for Adams Economic Alliance, including:
- Engaging more businesses
- Improving customer service
- Helping more types businesses
- Saving staff time
- Driving economic development
