Join the Great Lakes Economic Development Council (Great Lakes EDC) for the latest installment of our Be Greater! digital learning series. 

Golden Shovel surveyed economic developers working in rural communities across America to identify what strategies are driving investment and spurring growth. This webinar will present new data and insights gathered from over 290 communities, focusing on the Great Lakes region. Rural areas in this region, many facing stagnation or decline, have unique opportunities for growth by leveraging their local assets. Learn which strategies are working— from using innovative marketing tools to implementing practical community engagement initiatives. This webinar will provide key takeaways that attendees can use to bring investment, businesses, and talent to their own rural communities.
