In this episode of Building Stronger Communities, SmarterLocalGov team members Michael N’dolo and Matt Horn discuss the factors that shape business recruitment in a community. Do you ever wonder why Target hasn’t come to the neighborhood yet? What would it take to attract a “big-box” store? This episode considers what drives business investment and growth, as well as how you can play a role in economic development in your own community.
This panel discussion gets unique insights from two first-term Mayors, learning from their experience in working with investors, staff members, and their respective communities to ensure growth and development without compromising community values.
Editor’s Note: Building Stronger Communities is a presentation of MRB Group and the SmarterLocalGov team. It’s produced in conjunction with FingerLakes1.com Digital Media.
