area development:
... socioeconomic, industrial or economic development within a geography as it occurs beyond what is considered to be a single community to the extent that it has a measurable impact. It is essentially regional development, taking into account that the smallest of such areas are basic economies. On the other hand, it may cover an area as large as a county.
Area development is a process that is monitored, manipulated, or encouraged. It's brought about in the latter case through such efforts as marketing, networking, and lobbying as well as providing resources and services to prospects. The process may seem to take place spontaneously but analysis reveals that enterprising individuals or groups are always initiators of specific projects and ventures.
The Network identifies practitioners as area and local development representatives when they work on behalf of one or more communities seeking to benefit from regional development opportunities. An instance of development always occurs in a location; therefore, information for making decisions is a resource that is absolutely essential. That being the case, area and local development representatives need first and foremost to be location data suppliers. After that, prospects generally expect them to be arrangers of things.
