Welcome 4 HartforD business Journal • December 26, 2016 www.HartfordBusiness.com BOOK OF LISTS & ECONOMIC FORECAST 2016-2017 HBJ Book of Lists: A resource of business intelligence T his year we refreshed our annual Book of Lists, with new lists, an economic forecast as well as our popular "5 to Watch" section, all of which is aimed at helping inform the region's business, civic and nonprofit leaders as they plan and strategize for 2017. As you comb through the 52 lists included in this year's book, you'll also notice fact boxes that will provide more context and insight to a few of our lists. They highlight significant changes that occurred in some of our rankings and data. You'll also notice several new lists, including urgent-care facilities, medical marijuana dispensaries and homecare providers, among others. In addition, prominent local, regional and national economists and business executives provide economic forecasts covering various industries including real estate, health care, banking and finance and education. For a third straight year, we also surveyed our business owner and executive readers to get their insights on hiring and investment trends for the year ahead. The survey results start on PG. 10. We'd like to thank all of our contributors to the publication. Their invaluable insights will help shed light on where the region's economy is headed in 2017 and beyond. Our sincere hope is that you will use this book as a reference guide, a one-stop-shop business resource. The industry listings, contacts, and economic insights contained in these pages will assist you in your daily business decisions. We are always interested in reader feedback, so let us know what you think about our revamped Book of Lists.
