On Thursday, June 26, 2008, nearly 200 people attended a brainstorming session to share their ideas on Janesville’s economic future.  This forum is the first step in helping community leaders chart a new long-range economic development strategy for Janesville. 

To keep things simple, we asked everyone to answer the same question: Given current economic news, what can Janesville do in the coming 24 months to improve the local business climate and attract new business investments? 

We received hundreds of compelling and thoughtful answers!  Click here to view the complete list of ideas, and here to view the top five ideas in separate issue categories as determined by a committee of community leaders.
