University of Arkansas economist Kathy Deck will discuss the region’s economy during the first quarter, as well as trends and projections, during the quarterly business breakfast at 6:45 a.m. May 4.

Held at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development at 145 N. Buchanan Ave. on the UA campus, the hourlong program and breakfast costs $35. Registration by May 2 is required.

“Key investments and strategic planning during the recession and early recovery mean that the Northwest Arkansas economy is poised for a new mix of employment growth,” Deck, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the Sam M. Walton College of Business, said in a release.
