No property is an island, which is why the most successful redevelopment initiatives focus on areas.

IEDC’s research is based on interviews and information from redevelopment practitioners across the country. It illustrates how communities designate an area for redevelopment and use powers to: 1) acquire land; 2) return land to the private sector; and 3) designate tax increment financing districts. The publication discusses these topics in-depth, concentrating on approaches and case studies in nine states. Creating an Economic Development Action Plan: A Guide for Development By Thomas Lyons and Roger Hamlin. 190 pages. Arguing that economic development planning continues to focus too narrowly on job creation at the expense of long term goals, the authors focus on the secondary and long term effects of local development activities. Job creation, they claim, should be the end product of a well considered, comprehensive, rational approach to economic development. The book looks at the objectives of economic planning offering a broad conception of them, and considers the information needed to plan effectively. Following a discussion of public-private partnerships tools in the United States, the book shows how to translate objectives and data into a program of action, then closes the loop of the planning cycle with a description of program evaluation. » View other titles in ED Policy and Planning
