Sixth in the 2007-08 Building Communities Webinar Series: Community & Economic Development. Faciliators: Associate Professor Jerry Hembd, University of Wisconsin-Superior/Extension and Center Fellow John Ramer. UW-Superior/Extension Associate Professor Jerry Hembd and Center Fellow John Ramer, CEcD, FM (invited) take us from the traditional to the nouveau of attraction. Often thought of in terms of landing that large new manufacturer or the branch plant, they’ll discuss how today’s global marketplace has not just changed the rules, but altered the game. Join in as they discuss how the changing economy demands new forms of infrastructure and community assets in order to be attractive to today’s workers, who themselves are key to sustainable business and economic growth.
