A rich, prosperous region with world class assets, but challenged
- We are a goods-producing region with technology displacing

- small cities and rural areas struggling
- We are a populous and diverse region (but Sunbelt
migration challenging)
- World-class skilled workforce (but aging and becoming
closed to immigration on U.S. side)
