The city recently partnered with GovPilot , a Manasquan, New Jersey based provider of cloud-based government management software.

The app, available to residents on Android and iOS devices is easy to use, and routes citizen concerns […]

Other top priorities for the year include providing support for growth strategies, better preparedness for issues they cannot control, improving business partnering and enhancing finance agility, the research found. In addition, the research from The Hackett Group ® found that finance executives will need to do more with less in 2023 and are counting on technology investments to mitigate the gaps. The study also found significant disconnects between top finance transformation priorities, plans for major initiatives, and executives’ confidence in their ability to deliver results. The research found that nearly 75% of companies have a major finance initiative addressing the top priority of digital transformation. But fewer than a third of all organizations have a major finance initiative aligned with any of the other nine top priorities identified in the study. Finance executives also expressed a low degree of confidence in their ability to meet business objectives in several priority areas, including the ability to retain the right skills and talent (60% low confidence), the ability […]

ALTOONA, Wis. (WEAU) – Students at an Altoona elementary school had an opportunity to get hands-on learning at a STEAM Museum Experience Tuesday. St. Mary’s Elementary turned its Parish Hall into a learning experience focused on not only STEAM topics, but also in creative arts. 12 different stations were set up focusing on curriculum the students are studying, while also introducing them to new technologies. “So STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and math. So all of the activities are geared towards those different content areas, which gives them a variety of experiences that we normally wouldn’t have in the classroom,” Carisa Smiskey, Principal, said. The STEAM Museum was set up in the school by a company called Mobile Ed Production, Inc., which tours the country bringing hands on experiences directly to the students.

A skyline that sprouts new buildings at a dizzying pace. Neighborhoods dotted with new breweries and renovated mills. Thousands of new apartments springing up beside light rail lines. The signs of Charlotte’s booming prosperity are everywhere. But that prosperity isn’t spread evenly. And from Charlotte’s “corridors of opportunity,” it can seem a long way off, more like a distant promise than the city’s reality. Historic West End Partners’ J’Tanya Adams (second from left) and Erin Gillespie (center), the city’s Strategy and Development Manager for Corridors of Opportunity, were part of a panel following an announcement by the Truist Foundation. Charlotte’s Corridors of Opportunity program is not the traditional approach to economic development — instead of luring a single big business or splashy development, the city is investing $109 million of public and private funds into six parts of the city that have historically been overlooked. When Tracy Dodson returned to the city in 2018 to oversee economic development, she said this week that the city manager teased her about having to shift her focus from the “big, sexy projects” to parts of Charlotte that don’t normally attract attention. The corridors approach differs in another way, which came up following […]

With demand for key metals used in solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric vehicles expected to grow fivefold by 2050, the market value for energy transition metals is expected to present a $10 trillion investment opportunity in the coming decades, according to a Transition Metals Outlook report and Net Zero Scenario by research firm, BloombergNEF (BNEF). “The energy transition has put a spotlight on raw materials. It presents an opportunity and a responsibility as well,” stated Kwasi Ampofo, Head of Metals and Mining at BNEF. “Responsible mining must underpin the extraction of the resources needed to meet this demand. Mining is the bedrock of the energy transition, hence, the industry must lead the way, by first decarbonizing its own footprint,” added Ampofo. Despite the increased demand however, supply will likely remain constrained due to a lack of investment , depleting reserves, as well as increased country risk toward mining as a result of the global slowdown in the wake of COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with resource nationalism and higher resource taxes presenting a barrier to global net-zero ambitions. According to BNEF’s Economic Transition Scenario, the demand for metals used for fossil fuel-based power plants will account […]
