Class Notes:
New faculty member, Dr. Nichola Lowe, will be the instructor. Nichola Lowe has been teaching graduate courses on state and local economic and workforce development in North Carolina since 2005. She is excited to expand this learning to Minnesota, inviting local practitioners and their community partners to join class discussion. How do we make our local economies work well for more people in a community, inclusive of the needs of workers, families and youth that are most at risk of being left behind? This course provides an overview of a range of community economic development tools and strategies, as well as emergent and established debates around their use and implementation. Students will learn to think critically about the merits and limits of specific strategies, from industrial recruitment and business investment incentives to innovation districts and small business and entrepreneurial assistance. We will also explore the conditions that enable certain cities, regions, and communities to implement these strategies in more equitable and environmentally sensitive ways. http://classinfo.umn.edu/?+PA5511+Fall2023
