The Hot Springs Metro Partnership’s
existing industry program is built around
three basic concepts:
-
Tracking existing
industry performance
-
Supporting existing
industry needs and initiatives
-
Providing existing
industry with timely and useful
information in an efficient and succinct
manner
Existing
Industry Performance
Hot Springs
Metro Partnership uses
eSynchronist,
a Web-based package that allows local
representatives to gather information about
existing companies, enter it in a database,
and gain from that information both
knowledge of trends in local industry as
well as benchmarks of local industry
performance in relation to similar
industries nationwide.
Existing
Industry Support
Hot Springs Metro
Partnership serves as liaison between
existing industry and local, state and
federal governmental entities in a number of
different settings, from interceding on
behalf of industry in regulatory issues to
lobbying legislators at the state and
federal level, to coordinating permitting
for expansion, to seeking and administering
grant funding and other incentives. It is
Hot Springs Metro Partnership’s mission to
become the first point of contact for local
industry that seeks assistance with any
government entity or any outside request for
information or business assistance.
