opportunity for our region over the network the entire state over the next 30 years but we need to get a better understanding of do we have the workforce that's available to meet the demand and do we have the businesses that are locally available to meet the demand so in both cases we don't that doesn't mean that we haven't already begun to look at programs that can scale up
the workforce and scale-up businesses.
This will be in the Jobs and Economic Development Committee next Monday.
What I wanted to do again is to basically, one, get it to you first because we have the towns, the county, the CLC, the Alliance, the MPTA that's all waiting for this report.
So I'll take one step back.
As you recall, 40% of the 1% sales tax is for transit.
20% is for bus.
That's going to make its way to the MPTA.
There was a question earlier today.
Beginning July 1, the MPTA is receiving the sales tax, both the half cent and the 1% sales tax.
But they won't be ready to take on our staff until January 1, 2027.
So we have this great opportunity to use this report
to see how we can make sure
that not just in many of the questions that happened earlier tonight about CBI, how do we have different businesses that can participate in this.
That's why this gap analysis is so important.
And again, it starts with the council, but I'm very proud of the team and how you've worked so diligently to pull this all together.
It's a lot of data.
It's a lot of data.
It's a lot of data, but it's going to be useful as we tackle this opportunity.
So that's the end of my report.
