The Center for Economic Growth launched our CapNY talent attraction campaign in April 2021,\u201d said CEG President and CEO Mark Eagan. \u201cWe sensed that if we could raise awareness about all the opportunities and lifestyle in the Capital Region, then more people would want to come here to work and live. We were onto something, and these Census Bureau population estimates show that.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe GoCapNY.com website is attracting much traffic, especially from the New York City and Boston areas, and we will be launching new initiatives to engage and connect with interns this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CEG said that between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021, the eight-county region\u2019s population grew by 1,212, or 0.1 percent, to 1,106,274.

The Capital Region\u2019s domestic annual net migration was by far the largest in the state, with the North County region trailing at 239. Warren County ranked 12th at 315.<\/p>\n<p>CEG launched a talent attraction campaign in April 2021 using the CapNY brand.

To achieve these objectives, CEG is also targeting out of market social media placements, piloting outreach to universities and colleges to engage students and local companies to engage interns, as well as connecting regional companies and HR professionals to tools for recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>As the nonprofit regional economic development organization, CEG seeks growth by attracting investment and talent; growing manufacturing and workforce capabilities, leveraging industry clusters, and developing the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
