Community-Based Strategies for Economic Re-Engagement

The video and slides from the March 25th meeting.

On March 25, 2008 about 20 different Indiana communities participated in a session called "Community-Based Strategies for Economic Re-Engagement." The idea is that there are things communities can begin doing immediately to help address the needs of troubled businesses and unemployed people in their communities. The key is to look at re-employment and economic re-engagement in new ways and by forming civic networks that can link and leverage existing assets. That session can now be viewed online here. Note that there is about 60 minutes of dead air as locations were working on their local plans. Once you get to that spot, you can fast forward to about the 1:56:53 minute mark to pick up the last half hour where some of the locations share their strategies and Ed Morrison and and Scott  Hutcheson share a few additional thoughts. The PowerPoint presentation is available here.
