The Abilene Chamber of Commerce and the Abilene Regional Growth Alliance presents the 2026 Economic Outlook, sponsored by Clear Fork Bank. Join us as we bring together Chamber members and business owners to share market projections for the coming year. We are excited to host Dr. Michael Hicks, George and Frances Ball Distinguished Professor of Economics and Director of the center for Business and Economic Research from Ball State University. He will provide us insights on key factors in our region: housing, labor, data centers, agriculture, and more! We hope you can join us for our signature event.
