local economic development:
... the economic development process
ends in a location. Various definitions of the process
mention community, for example: The publication, Economic
Development Quarterly, states that economic development
is about ... jobs, income, and
community prosperity.
Local economic development is defined here as a process
that takes place within a community and
its surrounding area which together make up a measurable
economy of means. The community and its surrounding area
make up a basic locale. Places seeking economic development
measure what goes on in their local, for example, they
keep an eye on their employment environments in order to
know the number of jobs gained and lost. This is especially
true when the local
development organization is charged with jobs
creation.
Economic development, by definition, takes place in
a location. The Network is a resource for finding locations.
Its top tier location is a country. From there the process
of searching for a place of interest for enterprise and
economic development move through a number of tiers. The
typical process ends at a place that accommodates local
economic development. For enterprise
developers participating in the mission of The Network
the location search process becomes known a site selection.
Search the Web for more information about local economic
development or for a place of interest to you. Below the
search engine are suggestions of ways to use The
Network to search for a location. Typically those participating
in the mission and searching for locations ultimately want
to find and get in touch with a user contact. Location data
suppliers are included among user contacts. Therefore, whether
you use the search engine provided or follow a suggestion,
your efforts to find and contact a location data supplier
for a place of interest is covered by a promise.
