For those that were unable to attend the recent presentation by Chris Thornberg please paste into your browser http://www.sonoma-county.org/edb/pdf/2007/thornberg_pres_20071102.pdf and read his overview of the local economy. Not a pretty picture in the short term, however, better than many other parts of the nation.
We are very lucky that Sonoma has a very diverse economy and is not dependent on only one industry. Since I moved here in the early ’70s Government-state, federal and local have been the backbone of employment. Key employers like Medtronics, Santa Rosa Jr. College , Agilent, Kaiser, etc. provide a very broad- based, diverse industrial base . I believe that with all the issues facing the Bay Area in the next year, we will continue to be the least expensive property in the region that many will flock to and buy a little piece of the wine country.
Pls call me or Mirjam for any information that you may need to make an informed decision!
