COI Perspective:
Southeastern
Challenges:
• Get local gov’t officials involved • Reverse population decline • Increase tax revenue base • Increase average wage • Change age demographic • Increase incentives for broadband penetration in the rural areas • Low awareness of ICT benefits • Create a more diversified economy • Overcome apathetic attitudes • Limited affordable housing
Sense of Urgency
• We MUST stop the decline, we are asleep at the wheel.
• Shock Value: “If you are going to be poor, this is the place to be!” • What is our legacy going to be for our children? There is declining infrastructure, tax base declining, demographics getting worse • WHAT CAN BE? We need to paint a compelling picture of the future
Opportunities:
• Get county boards & city councils engaged • Show local stakeholders that they have a “VOICE”!
• Further enhance working relationships with other communities • Become a positive place to live, work and play • Promote area as an affordable place to live • Challenge negative thinking • Promote and develop self-reliance in our community • Foster entrepreneurship

Connecting SI’s Assets and Trends to 2012 Goals
CSI 2012 M/S1 Goals*
Regional Assets
•
Heartland of America location, equidistant to 2/3 of U.S. markets, central to economic expansion of the Americas
Global & Nat’l Trends
•
Global growth presents SI with opportunity to accelerate its economic growth from 1.34% to 3.85% per year
• • •
SIU - a major R&D university with 60+ years history serving students from over 100 world cultures supports global KBE growth Robust education and training resources position SI for global workforce training opportunity Mild climate, unique natural environment, active lifestyle assets, important factors for KBE, tourism and
+
arts and culture amenities, attractive quality of life characteristics are senior living growth
• • • •
KBE activity now accounts for 50% plus of GDP growth, 3x’s growth in occupations and pays double the average wage of other jobs By 2010, the U.S. will have a 10M worker shortfall requiring strong workforce development resources 3 of 4 factors required to support KBE activity in rural America are SI strengths 58% of all U.S. and global tourists want authentic active, historic and cultural experiences (50-80 million)
•
Inter-modal logistics, transportation and distribution resources have a strong foundation in SI
•
Logistics is a $900 billion U.S. industry in a global $3.43 trillion market growing at 10-15% per year
•
SI has plentiful legacy and alternative energy assets. SI is a coal leader and is strong in 2 of 4 areas of projected alternative energy growth by 2030
•
74% global increase in coal consumption, 138% in coal-to-liquid and 66% in bio-fuels by 2030
=
27,298 New Hi-Wage Jobs 41,461 Existing Jobs >$5,000/Yr $642 Million New KBE Activity 1,600+ Firms >$2 Billion New Annual Wages 4,500+ Families with Healthcare Coverage Lift 10,000 Citizens Out Of Poverty $200 Million Information Technology Investment

Potential SI Jobs by Sector
(1 of 2)
•
Global growth opens up opportunities to expand SI economy beyond its traditional growth rate
•
10 million U.S. worker shortage is an opportunity for SI workforce development resources
•
Growth in services exports enable SI to move away from uncompetitive legacy economic activities
ICT investments contribute 33% to U.S. productivity growth…this validates importance of NPCOI
SI’s 64% increase in broadband access can better leverage six-fold increase in e-commerce activity
4 of 5** factors in rural KBE growth are SI strengths — need to be leveraged for SI economic growth
Livable community assets present in SI are an
attraction asset for KBE, Senior Living and Tourism Alternative energy, global warming and “greening” of society is creating innovation opportunities

2012: What SI Success Looks Like
Is SI worth fighting for?
Southern Illinois is the global location where inter-generation active lifestyle families, visitors & KBE workers choose to live work and play — growth abounds
SI’s historic liability of remoteness and lack of access becomes an asset; instead of forgotten by Chicago, Springfield and Washington, SI is a land and lifestyle treasured, respected, sought after and envied — there is only one SI in the World
SI communities see themselves in a new light; they are respectful of their place; they see themselves as gateways to a land that is "The Garden of The Gods"
Tourism venues, town centers,rural lands, business locations and neighborhoods all demonstrate by their look and feel that SI is a very special place to be preserved and enhanced for all time
SI is a place of welcome for people of all cultures whether visiting or living here; in the land of "The Garden of the Gods” all are welcome and of value
It is a place many want to be, but only the fortunate choose to take advantage of this unique opportunity; SI becomes a place that is worth a premium, rather than one that feels it must offer a discount to be desired

The Call to Action
Is SI worth fighting for?
•
These
Goals/Strategies/Actions
are ambitious but are, in fact, achievable:
•
Unless you strive for stretch goals — you will never get to “adequate”
•
The key questions each of you must answer:
•
Is SI worth fighting for? If not now, when?
•
Are you willing to take control of your destiny?
“
Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance
