I am seeking examples of reasonably successful, or at least hopeful, genuinely sustainable economic development efforts in the US that were sponsored, or in some significant way, supported by a rural local government (city, town, county, tribe, COG). My definition of success is that a project takes a local resource or amenity and either uses it in a new way, or adds new value, in a way that creates better incomes for local people, captures formerly lost trade, or in some other way adds to the quality or strength of the local economy. I am not interested in cases where people think another truck stop or strip mall is actually economic development. Cyburbians help will be appreciated!
