News, trends, and a global perspective of economic development for government and economic / community / workforce professionals everywhere.

In this issue, we look at evaluations of incentive programs in Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas as well as the increased willingness of communities to enforce clawback provisions for incentives.

The February 2010 The Retention Monthly also includes an update on Oklahoma City’s innovative MAPS initiative, now in its third cycle, and the economic impact of spending discretionary dollars at local merchants versus big box or chain store retailers.
