Completely revised, this new edition presents a well-balanced set of economic development financing tools and techniques focusing on our current period of economic austerity. In addition to evaluating traditional public sector techniques, this volume emphasizes the role of the private sector and the increasing need for cobbling together different methods and sources to create a workable financial development package. Critical assessments of various approaches, as well as practical advice on how to implement these techniques are addressed. New Chapters - on entrepreneurship, the changing nature of the community banking system, and the increasing need for partnerships - provide critical insights into the ever-evolving practice of economic development finance.
