The Central Coast Economic Forecast is produced with support from platinum level sponsors PG&E, Cal Poly and the Orfalea College of Business along with dozens of local business, organization and government sponsors. The Forecast is overseen by a volunteer board of local business leaders and was developed to provide a reliable and insightful source of local, state and national economic information.
