What's on this agenda

This work session is entirely educational -- a roughly four-hour "Economic Development Academy" led by Apex's economic development director and two East Carolina University instructors, covering what economic development is (and isn't), trends affecting Apex, and a closing "champions plan" for next steps. No decisions or votes are on the agenda.

Aside from two scheduled breaks, there is no other business.
