Economic development is an advanced collaboration between the public and private sectors within cities, villages, and towns. Traditionally, a municipality’s goals are to continue new job growth, increase property tax revenue, and maintain an enjoyable and charming community. Similarly, businesses are focused on increasing profits and growth opportunities.
