摘要

This guidebook is intended for the economic development practitioner: the manager of staff person with an economic development or broad-based community development organization; the consultant who provides economic development services to cities; and others at the local level such as staff or members of the local Chamber of Commerce or quasi-public development companies who assist and supplement local government activity. The guidebook discusses many of the questions local officials are thinking about, and provides a context allowing systematic analysis of economic problems and development of solutions to them. The guidebook provides a framework to assist officials or local professionals in creating their own strategies and programs.
