Empowerment for Communities
Links to Wikis On The Five Most Commonly Used Economic and Community Development Strategies
COLOR GUIDE - throughout this wiki we use a variety of colors to help the user better understand and navigate.
- There Is No Alternative (TINA) - when communities see no other way to develop themselves but to give away tremendous financial incentives for a company or retailer to move into their area.
- Only Local Small Business - when communities only want to grow and protect their own local small business community inviting little, if any, outside businesses to join them.
- Creative Class - when communities provide direct support to the artisans, bohemians and other 'creative types' to help spark economic activity.
- Clusters - when communiites arrange to have specific industries clustered together within a geographical proximity to one another in order to generate producitivty from the collective group.
- Technology Based Economic Development - when communities focus on developing or attracting high-end technology companies. Also closely resembles TINA.
- To compliment your current development efforts you may want to consider MEAPA's Innovation and Community Empowerment (ICE): Creating A 21st Century Empowered Community (2008) - communities small and large have a tremendous need to better train their people and utilize their resources. ICE fills that need by offering community leaders and stakeholders a very practical and innovative approach that they can immediately implement to help them create a 21st Century Empowered Community.
