• b. An update of Element 5.0 SE Area Overview, and all the chapters therein. This is a substantial research effort. The History (5.1) and Geography (5.2) chapters will need a small effort, but the Population and Labor Force chapter (5.3) will require substantial research and outreach to source agencies to update. The Infrastructure Chapter (5.4) will need to be updated, as will Chapter 5.5 on economic impact factors and the economy chapter, 5.6.
