It’s going be a long day today. We’re shorthanded at the office, and the Governor’s Summit on Economic Development really kicks off this morning. The focus this year is on workforce development, and Silver City is the perfect location for that type of discussion. Many of our economic development efforts during the past few years have been centered on educating and training better workers.

I don’t know that Bill Richardson will be attending the forum, but that means we’ll be treated to a visit by Lt. Gov. Diane Denish. It’s always refreshing when Diane comes to town, and I imagine we’ll be seeing more of her as the big guy really hits the campaign trail.

You can find an agenda here, if you’re interested in attending any of the meetings or forums.

I’ll likely try to live-blog some of the meetings I attend, or, at the least, will try and post some updates throughout the day. So, stay tuned if you can.
