This four-day course will explore using placemaking as a recovery tool to create quality places. Telecommuting and remote work are here to stay, and America’s great Covid migration is well underway. In today’s highly mobile society, quality of life is essential for attracting talent and retaining existing companies. Relocation trends show many workers are choosing to move to other areas when they are no longer connected to a centralized office location. Our guest speakers will address creating quality communities, economic recovery and resilience, effective incentive strategies, and various other economic development topics to help attract and keep business and talent in your community.

Join us to learn what communities are doing to capitalize on their unique assets and how placemaking can be successfully used as an economic development tool.
