The New Rural America – Partners and Progress symposium is the second in a series of rural development symposia. The first New Rural America Symposium advised us to think and act regionally. To make regional strategies effective, we were challenged to develop supportive infrastructure for entrepreneurs, seek competitive niches, and reinvent public institutions.
Whether you're from the Corn Belt, Rust Belt or anywhere else in rural America, this symposium will deliver the community economic development best practices to help you enrich your current program.
