A clear and practical examination of complex issues, Local Economic
Development and the Environment: Finding Common Ground provides a
broad, academic look at the intersection of two important areas for
local administrators. In addition to managing development in a
strained economic climate, most administrators are also expected to
be stewards of the environment. However, economic conditions often
leave them with limited options for pursuing economic development
and, at the same time, being environmentally mindful. Many find
themselves without a clear understanding of the concepts, tools,
and best practices available to accomplish this herculean task.
Translating complex environmental and economic concepts into easily
applicable practices, the book: Gives practitioners the information
they need to communicate with consultants, constituents, and
officials, and to avoid ideological obstacles Compares regulatory
differences between states and other geographical differences
Includes examples from across the country to highlight variations
in environmental regulations and laws Provides technical, legal,
and political insights into the process of pursuing local economic
development projects that incorporate protection and awareness
Contains case studies that demonstrate the concepts in action,
allowing readers to fully grasp the complexities associated with
sustainable economic development Discusses how local administrators
can balance the economic and environmental needs of the future
Bridging the gap between policy-making intention and outcome, this
book connects readers with a larger body of research that not only
underpins practical applications but also helps them avoid legal,
technical, and political obstacles. It provides an arsenal of best
practices and everyday, easy-to-use strategies for optimizing the
difficult balance between economic development and environmental
protection.
