A bright future for rural communities : a guide to economic development.
Abstract
Economic and community development are intertwined processes.
Economic development is part of a community development plan that
may also include social issues such as health care and practical issues
such as infrastructure.... Although this guide presents a step-by-step approach to economic development,
each community is unique, and the priorities and the process
should be community-driven. However, following the process identified
in this guide will improve the likelihood of long-term success for
your community. You will find in this guide testimonials representative
of our Texas Yes! Hardworking Communities that talk about the
important elements of this strategy for success.
