Episode 11 - The Future of Economic Development in the American South - a podcast by The OCO Broadcast

In this episode of the OCO Broadcast our US Director Paul Grossman is joined by owner and publisher of “Southern Business & Development,” Mike C. Randle to discuss the growing business opportunities in the American South, as the US’s most preferred region for foreign direct investment.

Mike succinctly explains the changes and challenges facing the South, the challenges for indusry and for the economic development agencies in business recruitment.

Just a few observations to pique your interest:

· Re-shoring has been occurring in the South long before COVID-19.

· Companies are moving employees to Southern locations who found they could buy two houses when they found it hard to buy one house in states that they left.

· The automotive sector is king, and technology is its servant.

As we adjust our thinking to a new normal, I invite you to adjust your perception of the American South.
