All across Upstate, there’s evidence that businesses have recognized the potential we have to offer and are making investments in sustainable, future-focused projects that will put our region on the cutting edge of technological advancements and poised for long-term growth. It’s critical that we continue to do the work to ensure this upward trajectory continues, and that Broome County can fully participate in the Upstate economic renaissance that is well underway. Read more on why our vision for the Broome Tech Park is vital to sustained economic growth as originally published in the New York Real Estate Journal. https://lnkd.in/eviu39sf

After the successful launch of Light City Baltimore, Kory Bailey✨ received a 2017 Southwest Magazine Article from his friend Juan Webster; it was 25 pages long and proclaimed that “Baltimore Is The City The World Is Missing” and #MyBmore is a tool to see the city through the local community’s eyes. At the time, I was leading marketing at Visit Baltimore. Al Hutchinson was the new CEO who believed, like me, that Baltimore could no longer wait or beg the media to respect our city’s grit and grace; we were going to OWN IT because NO ONE CAN TELL BALTIMORE’S STORY BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE. #periodt Now, here we are, SEVEN years later. Baltimore is a designated tech hub, and the Greater Baltimore Committee estimates the EDA Program will inject an estimated $500 million in federal funds over five years, generating an estimated $4.2 billion in economic growth and 52,000 jobs for the region by 2030. My oldest son will turn 18 years old in 2030. If you believe Audacity Group LLC and mybmoreproject.com will not be at the center of supporting UpSurge Baltimore and our over 400+ start-ups to elevate their stories, you must not have been watching me closely enough! It’s Maryland’s turn because it is Baltimore’s time! #equitech #weareinvested #dionnejoynerweems #thatpart #author #globalmarketer #storyfacilitator #changemaker #ceomommy #mybmore #mymaryland

Chairman, U.S. International Economic Development Task Force (NACo) Erie County Executive @ Erie County Government MPS, Economic Development I Major, US Army, Infantry, Carpenter by trade
#SelectUSA was an amazing success for Erie County economic development which led to the engagement of nearly 180 companies looking to invest within US communities. We departed Washington DC yesterday late afternoon and were touring Erie County first thing this morning with these two companies. This is finally Erie County playing offense," said Davis. "30 to 40 years of playing defense, managed decline, and now we are finally playing offense. This is what true economic development looks like, and this is what our community can do to leverage outside of our weight class, if we get out there and make it a reality. We've just got to work to do it." Let's get to work! https://lnkd.in/eXtfHeBd #economicdevelopment #businessinvestment #fdi #erie #Pennsylvania

Today, Crain's Chicago Business published this outstanding Op-Ed by Kendra Jackson Freeman, the Vice President of Programs and Strategic Impact at the Metropolitan Planning Council in Chicago. She outlines her philosophy of city-wide inclusive planning for large projects that can significantly alter the trajectory of our city. Recently, we witnessed two remarkable large-scale economic development initiatives: the “Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park” on the South Side of Chicago and the expansion of the United Center on the West Side. These projects are among the most substantial economic development efforts in Chicagoland over the past decades. Drawing from the Metropolitan Planning Council’s 90 years of experience, Kendra is formulating four planning principles crucial for anyone involved in inclusive economic development: - Follow the plans we have already created. - Public funding should benefit the public good. - Every community is valued and has a voice. - Expand places to live, work, and play. Kendra concludes her Op-Ed with empowering and insightful words: “To create the future we want, we cannot forego the opportunity to implement these principles. Doing so will ensure a better public return on investment, and just as important, a more exciting and equitable future. We should build not just for ourselves or for the sake of development, but for our children and the generations to come.” Well said, indeed.

Today The Global Institute on Innovation Districts released a new research report, which puts a spotlight on the transformative power of land in shaping the future of innovation districts worldwide. 🔑 Key Takeaways for Kansas City: The centrality of land in cultivating vibrant innovation ecosystems is critical in achieving their core objectives of blending academic institutions, R&D centers, and entrepreneurial support organizations in mixed-use communities that promote creativity and collaboration. To truly unite our region, strategic site selection is paramount. By intentionally bridging the divides of art & science, of industry & research, of socio-economic barriers and trust, we're not just choosing locations; we're making a powerful statement for unity and inclusivity. Tackling complex societal challenges like urban revitalization, climate resiliency and sustainability, and economic mobility is at the heart of what makes innovation districts tick. This is our moment to not only strengthen, but redefine Kansas City’s innovation economy, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth, and setting a new standard for economic resilience and inclusivity. Emphasizing economic and social equity, the article underscores the importance of creating inclusive spaces that foster education, workforce training, and sustainable development. It also reinforces their ability to harness land use to address sectoral, administrative, and fiscal fragmentation while tackling these challenges. These are core aspects of what we do at Keystone Innovation District allowing Kansas City to harness its diverse talent and innovative spirit. Collaborative governance and strategic land use are crucial. It's time for Kansas City to leverage its unique assets, from vibrant neighborhoods to cutting-edge industries, to build an interconnected innovation ecosystem. As we continue to shape Keystone Innovation District, these insights guide our strategy towards making Kansas City a place of sustainable economic growth. The prosperity of Kansas City's economy impacts us all, making it crucial for everyone to engage with and contribute to the promising developments on the horizon. Let's come together to read, understand, and participate in shaping the future for our city. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gykVRYUb #innovation #kansascity Economic Development Corporation of Kansas City, MO Port KC Downtown Council of Kansas City The Global Institute on Innovation Districts
