Join Reba Adams, Project Manager with the Center for Economic Development Research at the Georgia Institute of Technology Enterprise Innovation Institute, for a webinar exploring the regional economic impact of a barnstorming baseball team. In collaboration with the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce and Fans First Entertainment, Adams helped author a study highlighting how the Savannah Bananas baseball team supports more than 1,200 jobs and generates $108 million in total economic output within the Chatham County Georgia. Attendees will gain insight into the methodologies behind the impact analysis, the role of tourism-dependent industries in supporting regional economies, and what the findings suggest for future economic development and downtown expansion efforts in the Savannah region.

This webinar is presented as part of C2ER’s professional certification, the Certified Economic Research Professional (CERP).
