Giving Back!
 STELLAR recently
announced a bold new partnership as a Silver Annual Sponsor of the
Florida Economic Development Council (FEDC). "This is a solid
opportunity to give something back" said
STELLAR Founder & CEO Terry Cusack. The comprehensive sponsorship package is a substantial commitment
by STELLAR, bringing an opportunity for broader support for local economic
developers in our home state.

Albany (GA) Steps up to the Plate
 Business and community leaders of Albany, GA recently took
part in a 75 interview STELLAR feasibility study intended to gauge
local support for a bold new economic and community development initiative
in that city. The Albany Chamber of Commerce sponsored the study and
will lead the subsequent multi-million dollar campaign. Chamber President Tim Martin says
of STELLAR; "I'm convinced we selected the right company and
consultants to make the 'Good Life City' even better."
There's a lesson here: An ED group closes
The Allegan County (MI) Economic
Development Alliance, an organization with twenty years of
successful operations behind it, will close it's doors for good this year.
The organization's future has been up in the air for the past few years,
according to
local newspaper accounts, but when county government cut its
funding, the leaves began to fall. Over-reliance on public funding
appears to have claimed another victim. Terry Cusack's recent interview
with Area Development Magazine points out some of the risk of
single-source funding.
