Abstract
Community leaders are expected to take greater responsibility for their economies, though they are often ill-equipped for this task As they struggle to create jobs they find themselves competing with communities not just in the United States, but around the world. This study reports on the efforts of one community, Louisville, Kentucky, to shape a rational economic development approach. This effort ultimately leads to a redefinition of local regime that is likely to be imitated by other communities in the future.
