Why Is This Important?

Large or small, a company can be qualified as “traded sector” if it sells goods outside our region, bringing external money into local economies and creating living wage jobs. Traded sector businesses can include manufacturers, athletic and outdoor, green cities, food & beverage manufacturing, whole trade companies, software services, professional services, etc. Businesses that are typically not considered to be traded sector are locally serving only, and include restaurants, retailers, and health care.
