About this Community Briefing

As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, local economic conditions are evolving faster than Forsyth Futures can measure using the main data sources we typically rely on to inform community decision making.  The purpose of this Briefing is to provide the most useful information possible about our rapidly-changing local economic conditions to community leaders and stakeholders at all levels. Our goal in producing this report is to encourage and support data-informed planning and decision making locally.

Building a Community Resource: The initial release of this Briefing primarily includes a dashboard. Subsequent updates will incorporate additional content intended to provide valuable context as our community navigates the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequent planned content includes:

• a literature review featuring interviews with local experts, and
• analyses of an expanded range of community measures.
