Event Description/Abstract

Most communities don’t realize the value of their existing infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) in terms of economic development. Understanding your infrastructure is key to pursuing and competing for economic development projects in your community. This presentation discusses the role of infrastructure in economic development and how to position your community for future success.
