IEDC's Neighborhood Development Strategies course focuses on how neighborhood groups and economic development organizations can use economic development strategies to combat the challenges facing distressed neighborhoods. The course outlines the unique issues facing these neighborhoods and suggests problem-solving approaches to address local needs. It defines the major neighborhood actors, their objectives and strategies for development and establishes a process for creating a strategic development plan to meet the established goals.
