Description
Byline: Joe Mosley The Register-Guard Correction (published Feb. 5, 2010): In a story on the Economic Forecast 2010 that ran Thursday on the front page, University of Oregon economist Tim Duy said that job opportunities are linked to decisions by businesses about where to locate. He compared the process to a funnel with the availability of a strong work force at the top and livability at the bottom, saying it is not enough to just score high on livability and work force. Eugene needs to pay attention to operating costs, site availability and incentives, Duy said, and not just offer a company five sites and rely on being "a cool city" to attract them. Duy's comments were incorrectly attributed to Joe Cortright, president of the Portland consulting firm Impresa.
