Innovations in Economic Development Forum welcomes Ted Howard, Minter Fellow for Social Justice at the Cleveland Foundation, on "Reinvigorating Neighborhood Economic Development."
The Evergreen Cooperative Initiative is a comprehensive community-building and economic development strategy designed to transform Cleveland's Greater University Circle by breaking down barriers between the area's anchor institutions (Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Music) and its surrounding low-income neighborhoods.
About the Forum:
Co-sponsored by the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy and the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute, the Innovations in Economic Development Forum brings together faculty, other researchers, students, economic developers, and policymakers to discuss leading-edge ideas and practices in economic development and innovation policy. The theme for the fall semester forum is "Re-balancing Economic Development: Shifting Strategies for Creating Resilient Growth"
