If you feel confident that you understand your community’s situation
and existing capacity and you feel that it is appropriate for you to
respond in some way, it is time for action.
The
attached “wheel” is designed to suggest that there really is no
beginning or end to the community and economic development process.
Take some time to consider where you and your community fit on the
wheel. Perhaps you need to better understand your community. Or
maybe your community has been studied to death already and now its
time to implement a project or program.
