Program Evaluation: The Economic Development Administration Growth Center Strategy

摘要

The study is an evaluation of EDA's growth center strategy. Volume I contains the results of the evaluation, while Volume II includes case studies of 13 EDA-designated economic development centers based on 500 on-site interviews. In the national assessment section, the study concludes that on the whole the Agency's designation procedures have selected the best growth centers available within the designated districts, but a large percentage of districts have no cities with growth potential.
