The Project has two main goals: - Produce and disseminate comprehensive information about the effects of military spending on the economy of Santa Clara County. - Develop an informed advisory group to serve as a reliable resource for business, academic and government decision-makers concerned with the economic effects of defense spending. Specific questions the Project will address: - What is the nature and extent of defense-related spending in Santa Clara County? - What are likely to be the effects in Santa Clara County in terms of employment, business development, provision of social services and over-all economic vitality? - How is the long-term development of the high technology industry affected by spending for defense products vs. spending for non-defense products? - What strategies are available to the county through private and public channels to ensure long-term economic vigor? - How do high levels of defense spending alter the competitive position of the U.S.? How should the nation's security interests be pursued so that both economic and military effectiveness are maximized? The intention of the project is to develop a process of ongoing evaluation and dissemination of information about the impact of military spending on the economy. The project will promote broadened public involvement through media activity, public forums, workshops and published reports. The conference is an early step toward realizing the goals of this project.
