–- Winston Churchill

26. Neighborhoods, cities and regions
are awakening to the importance of
― place in economic development.
They are planning for a future that
recognizes the critical importance
of quality of life to attracting
talent, entrepreneurship and encouraging local
businesses. Competing for success in a global
marketplace means creating places where workers,
entrepreneurs, and businesses want to locate, invest
and expand.

27. This work has been described as a ― sense of place,
or place-based economic development, or simply ―
placemaking. Economic development and community
development are two sides of the same coin. A
community without place amenities will have a
difficult time attracting and retaining talented workers
and entrepreneurs, or being attractive to business.
A Special Message from Governor Rick Snyder:
Community Development and Local Government Reforms to the
Legislature on March 21, 2011
