What's In It For Communities
What's in it for you?
The first part of the answer is professional committed partners from academia and the private sector knowledgeable in the field of business development, access to sophisticated practical tools and strategies, plus the latest and best information and training to better equip you to compete. Partner communities also gain a certain visibility to the development community and recognition by federal and state economic development program officials.
Our hope is to engage municipal jurisdictions across the country in an enduring long-term relationship through which we can all improve the practice of economic development at the local level...where the rubber meets the road.
