The San Fernando Valley Economic Research Center at California State University Northridge has received a national award for its annual economic report. The Association for University Business and Economic Research bestowed its Award of Excellence for data publications for the center’s 2005-2006 economic report on the Valley economy. Released last fall, the 100-page analysis examined the wide range of economic vectors affecting the area’s economy, its key industries and indicators for future growth. The 2005-2006 report was the eight edition prepared by the center. It is presented annually at the Valley Industry and Commerce Association’s Business Forecast Conference. The ninth annual was released last month.
