Know Your Region

Recent research has focused attention on the need for regional approaches to economic development, yet the economic development practice lags in actually implementing such strategies.
A new EDA grant has been awarded to Iowa State University who will use Regional Rural Development Centers (RRDCs) to address this lag by training economic development practitioners in the principles of developing regional strategies and applying related research findings in creating more vibrant regional economies using the EDA-approved curriculum, Know Your Region.
Working with Western Carolina University, the RRDCs will host national and regional train-the-trainer events to develop a cadre of trainers able to present on this important topic.
