The County's Economy -- How are we doing?

You may have heard talk lately about the overall health and welfare of Montgomery County's economic development. Did you know that our Gross Regional Product is $89.9 billion, which is a measure of the total size of the county's economy? Overall, we've grown 24% since 2010. If Montgomery County were an independent country, we would place 66th in the world for total annual economic output. Pretty cool!
