Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about how we work or what community-based economic development means for you? Our FAQs break down our approach, partnerships, and impact so you can see how we help communities thrive — and how you can get involved.
Community-based economic development focuses on empowering local residents, businesses, and organizations to drive change from within. Instead of relying solely on outside investment, it builds on existing strengths, fosters collaboration, and creates strategies that reflect the unique culture and needs of each community.
We partner closely with municipalities, nonprofits, and community groups to co-create solutions. This can include facilitating workshops, developing Main Street programs, supporting Community Development Corporations (CDCs) and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), and integrating place-based strategies into economic and urban planning.
Every community has its own history, assets, and challenges. Place-based strategy recognizes this uniqueness and tailors economic development efforts to fit the local context. This approach ensures solutions are relevant, sustainable, and more likely to have a lasting impact.
