The Agency publishes Broome County Dashboard

Binghamton, NY The Agency in partnership with data and software experts, eImpact, has developed a new Broome County Dashboard. The Dashboard monitors the economic health of Broome County through providing both baseline data as well as changes to the economy following the shutdown and subsequent phased reopening of the county caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

During the initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Leadership Alliance between The Agency and the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce surveyed the business community to target and address major needs. Survey results indicated a central, real-time source of accurate information was the most requested service outside of financial assistance. Data points the dashboard tracks include historical hiring trends, annual average income per industry, labor distribution, in addition to COVID-19 key performance indicators. Changes in employment, small business revenue trends, and real estate data are just some of the COVID-19 specific data sets included in the dashboard. 

Information on how the data in the report was collected as well as sources used are included in the dashboard. View the full Broome County Dashboard here: https://theagency-ny.com/broome-county-statistics

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
