00:00From your seat and you look at our region's economy, where do you see us 2026 and beyond from an
00:06economic standpoint?
00:07I think the NFL draft was a pivotal moment for the region.
00:10Tell us about that, yeah.
00:11Art and the Steelers being able to get the draft here really helped this region, you know, in the world
00:16spotlight.
00:18And the momentum that we're seeing, I mean, the economic data just came out about the impact of the draft
00:24from an economic perspective in the region.
00:28But also getting us on the map and getting companies to, you know, come here, visit, see the exposure of
00:35what this region's like on what they saw on television.
00:39I think, you know, with the Allianity Conference and other people focused on attracting businesses to the region, I think
00:47the NFL draft is something that will be looked upon in history as a huge catalyst to, you know, get
00:54this momentum moving at an even faster pace.
00:57So we're really, really proud that we were part of that.
00:59We're really proud that it happened in this town.
01:01And we think there's going to be a lot of good things to come from it.
