Communities are rethinking how they approach economic growth and development. Instead of focusing solely on jobs and businesses, many are asking, “What makes this a great place to live? Why would people want to live here?”
During this webinar, we will explore a growing trend in community economic development where investing in people, places, and quality of life is just as important as traditional business and job-focused strategies. Drawing from 50 years of national data, Steven Deller, Ph.D., will explore evidence that jobs increasingly follow people, and what that means for the future of community economic development practitioners and, more importantly, our communities.
Presenter: Steve Deller, Ph.D.
