Economic Data Report: When completing this section, please consider the reason for the activity and whether it was a result of NC STEP or an NC STEP created organization or initiative. If the activity is a result of NC STEP, please indicate whether it is a direct or indirect result and explain why. An example of direct result is a business that opened in the community due to receiving a mini-seed grant from NC STEP funds, and an indirect result is a business opening in the downtown due to an improved downtown appearance/streetscape funded or partially funded by NC STEP.
