Transforming Economic Development

In 2012, GEDI convened a group of leading economic development practitioners and community organizers, the 2012 CoLab Mel King Community Fellows. Together, the Fellows developed visions for the future of economic development practice, and articulated strategies make economic development a vehicle for environmental sustainability, social justice, and prosperity for a broader segment of our communities.

Based on these conversations, GEDI and select Fellows developed a vision paper, Transforming Economic Development.
