The current pandemic has already caused significant relocations of people and companies away from densely populated urban areas. Will this trend continue, or is COVID just accelerating what was already happening? Is this trend reversible? This session will review the results of a survey conducted of the world’s top corporate site-selectors to share their views on these trends, and how localities – urban, suburban and rural – can best position themselves in this ever-evolving economy.

Speaker: Chris Lloyd, Senior Vice President and Director, Infrastructure and Economic Development, McGuireWoods Consulting, Inc.
