BUSINESS REPORT CEASING PUBLICATION

The College of William and Mary says the monthly Virginia Business Report will no longer be published because it has become too expensive to produce. However, a new quarterly publication to analyze regional development trends is in the works, said Roy L. Pearson, director of the college's Bureau of Business Research and editor of the report. The Bureau of Business Research is under a state mandate to be self-supporting, but there weren't enough subscribers to justify the production costs for the monthly publication, Pearson said. The bureau had produced the report for nearly 35 years. by CNB
