Next month, on Leap Day, Feb. 29, 2024. We will have our first Power Breakfast of the year called Leaping Forward.
In collaboration with the Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation, we are bringing in Gerald Cohen, Chief Economist of the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise which is part of UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School.
When discussing the next Power Breakfast with Mr. Cohen, he shared, “Uncertainty abounds in 2024 in the economic and the geopolitical spaces - likely challenging decision makers in the business and policy realms.”
He also shared some of the questions he will address at our next Power Breakfast:
What is the trajectory of the economy and how will the Fed react to it? Will housing shortages abate? How does geopolitical uncertainty impact businesses and workers? What does this suggest for Fayetteville, as well as microeconomies in North Carolina and around the United States?
