What’s in store for our region’s economy in 2024? Going into a presidential election year, a great deal of attention will be paid to how the national economy is doing and what it means for families. There are lingering concerns about commercial real estate following the pandemic and many markets are still experiencing supply chain issues. Many families are still feeling pinched at the supermarket. Large employers such as Intel and Joby Aviation establishing themselves in Ohio could also have a significant impact on our region.

What will 2024 look like for businesses and residents of the greater Dayton area? What will be the areas of local growth and what challenges should we expect?

January’s Community Conversation on the Dayton Daily News Facebook page at noon on Jan. 31 will be focused on the region’s economic outlook for 2024 and beyond.

The discussion will be co-hosted by Community Impact Editor Nick Hrkman and Reporter Lynn Hulsey and will feature expert panelists from around our region to help answer your questions about our local economy.

Have a question for the panel? Email it to nick.hrkman@coxinc.com or ask it in the comments of the Facebook livestream.
