An annual gathering for business insight and community collaboration is set to occur once again. The Galion-Crestline Area Chamber of Commerce and the Bucyrus Area Chamber of Commerce are gearing up for the 4th Annual Crawford County Business Forecast & Economic Development Update, popularly known as the ‘Forecast Breakfast.’ Scheduled for Wednesday, February 28 from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM, this event promises to be a convergence of ideas, insights, and forward-looking economic trends.

A Culinary Start with a Side of Insight

The event, renowned not only for its informative sessions but also for its delectable breakfast offerings, will be catered by Avita Health System. Attendees can look forward to starting their day with a delicious meal accompanied by valuable updates on local economic conditions.

A highlight of the event will be the insightful presentations from various speakers. These experts will share results from the previous year and provide forecasts on how market dynamics and external factors might impact local businesses in the upcoming year. The full list of speakers, yet to be announced, will address attendees who are keen to understand and adapt to the changing economic environment.
