San Diego Region (DIA)
Abstract
The San Diego county region is positioned to be a key player in both the Western Pacific activities of the military, in international trade, and in a high technology convergence across industry clusters. However, as the second largest recipient of defense spending (by county - according to the OEA s report "Defense Spending by State FY2014"), the defense supply chain and regional economy remains vulnerable to adjustments in defense spending. A regional analysis of Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notices has shown that during calendar years 2012 through 2015, there have been 4,000+ jobs lost from defense contractors within the San Diego Metropolitan Statistical Area. More specifically, over the last three years the San Diego region has experienced 2,817 jobs lost from a diverse cross-section of defense companies. The funding sought through this grant proposal will: ? Facilitate greater knowledge and understanding of the local defense networks regionally. ? Enhance communication and networking among defense-sector participants and stakeholders. ? Develop strategies for companies to adapt and realize new, or alternate, economic opportunities.
