Dashboards like this are a popular way to share information on government program performance. Economic development organizations are increasingly developing their own dashboards or transparency portals to provide better data on incentive use and program outcomes.
The TNECD Performance Metrics platform’s purpose, according to COO Ted Townsend, is to “serve as a valuable resource for citizens who want to engage with TNECD.” Transparency advocates within Tennessee have praised the new dashboards for making “data useful to ordinary citizens” and showing how the TNECD is working to bridge the gap from where the state’s economy is to where it wants to be.
