Batch Activities?

Wanted to check and see if there have been any enhancements that allow me to "batch process" activities. Brief description of what we are doing. We construct models for each county in our state every year (using batch processing to create the models and it works perfectly!). Then, we use the contribution study approach to estimate an industry contribution (multiple sectors) for each county, creating activity spreadsheets for each county consistent with a template. We have many counties and it takes a very long time. Is there any way that some of these processes might be done in batches? It is a couple of steps to customize the model for contribution and we would love to shave some time off of these analyses. Thanks!
