Wobbekind to keynote Northern Colorado Economic Forecast

LOVELAND — The 2019 Economic Forecast for Northern Colorado will be Jan. 30 at the Embassy Suites, 4705 Clydesdale Parkway in Loveland.

Richard Wobbekind, associate dean of University of Colorado Leeds School of Business, will keynote the event and provide the forecast for the year.

As Wobbekind noted this week in his statewide forecast, economic growth is still expected for the state in the coming year, but it will slow somewhat. Northern Colorado continues on a positive path for the year, he predicted.
