Restoring Prosperity

PolicyLink has released To Be Strong Again: Renewing the Promise in Smaller Industrial Cities. The publication presents an equitable development agenda for redeveloping smaller industrial cities. With populations ranging from 15,000 to 150,000 and median household incomes below $35,000, these cities face unique challenges, but with coordinated action, they can also realize great successes. The action ideas and case studies in To Be Strong Again illustrate how smaller industrial cities can regain their rightful place among America’s diverse and healthy metropolitan regions.
