Small Town Economic Development

Most people know how I feel about long reports, but the Small Towns, Big Ideas project at UNC is worth checking out. The website offers a searchable database where you can peruse case studies by type of community (e.g., towns with historic downtowns or prominent cultural or heritage assets), strategy (e.g., arts/creative economy), or population. I also love the fact that you can narrow your search to "long, analytic case studies" or "short, descriptive case studies". Brian Kelsey
