Line During the 1960s and1970s, the primary economic development strategy of local governments in the United States
was to attract manufacturing industries. Unfortunately, this
(5) strategy was usuallyimplemented at another community’s expense: many manufacturing facilities werelured away from their moorings elsewhere through tax incentives and slickpromotional efforts. Through the transfer of jobs and related revenues
(10) that resulted fromthis practice, one town’s triumph could become another town’s tragedy.
In the 1980s the strategyshifted from this zero-sum game to one called “high-technologydevelopment,” in which local governments
(15) competed to attractnewly formed high-technology manufacturing ?rms. Although this approach was preferable tovictimizing other geographical areas by taking their jobs, it also had itsshortcomings: high-tech manufacturing ?rms employ onlya
(20) specially trainedfraction of the manufacturing workforce, and there simply are not enoughhigh-tech ?rms tosatisfy all geographic areas.
Recently, localgovernments have increasingly come to recognize the advantages of yet a third
(25) strategy: thepromotion of homegrown small businesses. Small indigenous businesses are createdby a nearly ubiquitous resource, local entrepreneurs. With roots in theircommunities, these individuals are less likely to be enticed away
(30) by incentivesoffered by another community. Indigenous industry and talent are kept at home,creating an environment that both provides jobs and fosters furtherentrepreneurship.
