The CED Recipient Toolkit is a one-stop shop for grant recipients to find all the information you will need to successfully manage your grant and create impactful job creation. For instance, many of the census tracts that governors selected as opportunity zonesalthough poor in comparison to much of the countryalready were enjoying substantial economic gains before the program launched.45 If those improvements continue in the years ahead, billions of dollars in taxpayer-subsidized investment may be directed to areas that have already experienced a turnaround rather than the struggling places that policymakers said the program was intended to help. Those shortcomings typically must be overcome before a city, county, or neighborhood will be attractive to private investment. Through their experience over the last six years, the coalition has published a community wealth report designed to help small and mid-sized cities develop their own community benefits agreements around new infrastructure projects.

In the early twentieth century during the Progressive Era reformers began making connections between the condition of communities and "social ills" such as crime and poverty and ways to improve upon them. 3) Convening organizations within the community economic development sector to share resources, solve challenges, and support . Economic development is not just limited to developing countries. Generally, the programs seek to encourage businesses to create high-quality jobs. More loan programs, grants and fair housing policies were implemented throughout the 60's and 70's but still failed to be non-discriminatory on the basis of race in some cases thus shaping communities in a particular fashion.
