Retooling for Growth
Retooling for Growth
Effective Chambers of Commerce: A Key to Regional Economic Prosperity
The American Assembly has investigated and reported on emerging economic development strategies for weak market cities, aimed at meeting a major need as cities and metropolitan areas seek to find their place in the changing global economy. A crucial question facing weak market cities today is what economic development strategies should be used as these cities and metropolitan areas seek to find their place in the changing global economy. There is no easy fix here, but this Assembly represents a major opportunity to remove the public policies and practices that handicap these cities.
In collaboration with the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program, the American Assembly issued a report, Retooling for Growth, that will serve as an action agenda for strengthening the economic development strategies, policies, and programs of weak market cities. ACCE contributed a chapter to Retooling that points to the specific role that business-civic groups can play to better position their respective metropolitan areas for sector-diverse, sustainable economic growth. Click here to download the chapter "Effective Chamber of Commerce: A Key to Regional Economic Prosperity." Chapter authors Steve Moret, Mick Fleming and Pauline O. Hovey.
