Nan Anderson as the Rural Program Director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development has the motivation to drive the Utah Main Street pilot project supporting our small community in recovery from the impact of Covid. Through research, GOED discovered Utah was one of a few states that didn't have a robust revitalization program targeting our main street business owners and residents, and now we do. The pilot program has rolled out in Brigham City and Price and embraced enthusiastically by property owners demonstrating tremendous promise for a statewide initiative creating robust economic impact. Utah's main streets define the character of our communities, as much as our cities and national parks. Through innovation, resilience and hope, small business owners in Salt Lake County and throughout the state are rising to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Visit Salt Lake and the Utah Office of Tourism invite you to join us as we hear the inspiring stories of these small business owners in a series we call Mighty Main Street.

This is Derek Miller Speaking on Business. The federal CARES Act stimulus program offers funds for states to administer for their local economic comeback. The legislature has dedicated some of those resources to fund the COVID-19 Displaced Worker Grant Program & COVID-19 Impacted Businesses Grant Program, both administered by the Governor's Office of Economic Development. This initiative, entitled “Learn and Work in Utah,” will provide training for those displaced due to the coronavirus. It includes support for the Utah System of Higher Education's Custom Fit program and several other workforce training programs to provide education and training to displaced workers. As part of this program, the Department of Workforce Services will create a dashboard to identify unemployment and job opening trends to match workers with jobs. This strategy aligns with the next 100 days plan from Utah Leads Together. GOED will also disburse $25 million through a Shop in Utah grant to those hurt by the pandemic. To qualify, businesses must offer a discount or other concessions with an estimated value to consumers of at least 50% of the grant amount. GOED must award at least 75% of these grant funds to Utah small businesses. Please visit business.utah.gov to learn more about the upcoming grant programs for your business and workforce. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, and this is “Speaking on Business.” Originally Aired: July 6, 2020.

Jeff Rhoades, Senior Policy Advisor of the Oregon Governor's Office, joins us to discuss the future of regulations in Oregon.

Rhoades also touches upon equity in the cannabis industry: "We have populations here in Oregon, like other states, that have been disproportionately affected by the drug war and so, we want to make certain that those individuals aren't barred from entering into this business by virtue of some past conviction that the behavior would be legalized at this time."

Crime and punishment in the Appalachian Mountains. On Oct. 2, 1905, A man was hung at Marshall NC the County seat of Madison County. Most of us history nuts in the Western NC area are familiar with the Hanging of Peter Smith. Growing up in Madison Co. I had heard the stories and have seen the photographs of Smith standing on the gallows in Marshall out side of the Jail in 1905. The concussions over the years I was told was that Smith did not commit the crimes he had been accused of. A murder of a young girl then several years later a rape of another young girl. I had been told many times that he had been framed for the assault. Reviewing the media of 1900's, copies of the court testimony, the findings of the NC Supreme Court and the Governors Office. Listen for yourself. Did he or didn't he? Did North Carolina hang an innocent man? scottlunsfordauthor.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/scott-lunsford/message

"Situational awareness is critical in any stressful environment, but particularly so in the midst of disasters. Knowing how events — manmade or natural — are unfolding can be the difference between life and death. Are you fleeing toward flood waters, or away from them? Are you moving toward a plume of toxic gas, or away from it? During the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, communications in New Orleans broke down. The floods that followed the federal levee collapse made things worse. There was a large communications project in post-Katrina New Orleans that sought proposals to unify all public safety and first responder communications in the city going forward. I knew some of the people on one of the teams that worked to win the contract. Their effort ultimately floundered over an intellectual property dispute. Since 2005, Louisiana has been hit by an inordinate number of disasters since 2005's deadly duo of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Gustav and Ike. The BP Gulf Gusher. Isaac. The great floods of 2016 ranging from Shreveport river flooding to Monroe storm flooding, to two severe hits in the Florida Parishes (spring and August) and then the great August floods that ranged from Lake Arthur to Kentwood, and all points in between. Ezra Boyd has a Ph.D. in geography from LSU. He's worked for the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation on a number of projects, including one on storm surge that is ongoing. The state is committed to spending $50 Billion trying to save Louisiana's coast and coastal communities from the ravages of rising seas, sinking land and climate change. There will be more natural disasters in our future, not fewer. Rising temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and in the atmosphere mean more moisture in the air. The floods of last August had all the earmarks of being the product of climate change. Nearly 12 years after Katrina and Rita, disaster responders still work under data handicaps that limit the effectiveness of their work, particularly in the immediate wake of the event. Boyd's DisasterMap.Net is moving towards remedying that situation. In our conversation, he explains how he's pulled data from a variety of sources into his DisasterMap website to enable near real-time data of the situation on the ground before responders can get out onto the ground. He's invested a lot of time and effort doing this. First, identifying the sources, then teaching himself JavaScript so that he could write the code that enables him to add layers of data to his site. Traffic from Google. Weather-related data from the National Weather Service and other sources. Information on shelters from the RedCross and official sources like the Governor's Office of Homeland Security. During the August floods, Boyd identified a potential niche for his firm — helping guide people from harm's way to places of safety. He the experience of helping family, friends and even total strangers last August as waters rose opened his eyes to the need. He's still working on how to get there. In addition to DisasterMap.Net, Boyd puts his geography, cartography and data skills to work on individual projects for NGOs working on things like mapping petrochemical accidents to working on community planning for storm surge events. With disasters appearing to be a growth industry in Louisiana, Boyd sees his work gravitating more toward disaster response, which is what led him to form DisasterMap.net back in 2011. ••• Thanks to Matt Roberts, AOC's Community Production Manager for help locating the music used in this segment.
