PIQUA — The old Water Treatment Plant is expected to get new life and a new purpose this year, training firefighters after being decommissioned last year.
The planning process to turn the old plant into a regional training facility for firefighters began when the city decided to build a new Water Treatment Plant at a different location within city limits rather than demolishing their old water plant, saving the city the cost of demolishing the structure and opening up the question of what to do with it once it was vacated.
Measuring the impact of automation is a critical starting point for a community or company. Determining the potential job and wage losses and gains in a region matters obviously to the community’s economic development and political leadership. It matters as well to company’s considering locating in a region—they need to understand the economic vitality of the marketplace but also the economic opportunity in targeted industries. The Montrose Group, LLC developed the Montrose Automation Index to measure the job and wage impact of automation. The Montrose Automation Index is relatively simply- a region’s occupations are research from federal government, U.S. Department of Labor, sources to determine the number of these occupations and the wages they pay. Those region’s occupations are then compared to the over 600 occupations that Professors Carl Benedikt Frey, and and Michael A. Osborne of Oxford University’s outlined in their landmark study, The Future of Employment: How Susceptible are Jobs to Computerisation?, September 17, 2013.
