You remember the episode of Sex & The City where Carrie mindlessly walks down the NY street and turns the corner to realize she’s not in Kansas anymore? Aka the revitalization and beautification stopped— only scheduled for one block and not the surrounding neighborhoods. Economic and community development, paired with community benefit brings together everything needed and required for a thriving and robust living /business environment. Money is needed to build and to purchase , business owners are needed for ideas and providing solutions or products to the community; jobs are created; ownership by pride in oneself and ownership by deed, or lease agreement showcases the way in which money flows — land owner , building owner, store owner, consumer and consumer, store owner, building owner, land owner. Government isn’t the only creator of economic and community development, the people and businesses are an intricate part of the puzzle. #landbaroness #developer #retirement #builder #economicdevelopment #communitybenefit #investor #wealth #realestate
