Economist Billy Kinsey of Virginia Commonwealth University presents the results of the survey

On November 20, 2007, the

Charlottesville Business Innovation Council

continued their series of tech town hall meetings at the Omni Hotel in
downtown Charlottesville.  The highlight of the luncheon was the

release of an economic study on the impact of high-tech companies on
the local economy

(

).  The study was conducted by the Center for Public
Policy at Virginia Commonwealth University and funded by the City of
Charlottesville.

The presentation was followed by a panel discussion
with local high-tech business executives who discussed the challenges
of hiring and retaining technical employees in our area.
