This course is held in partnership with the Maryland Economic Development Association (MEDA).

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.

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.
