LAND USE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
HOW DO THEY RELATE?
![Page 4: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
It’s a Changing World: Trends Facing Rural Areas
• Shifting rural economies
• Changes to the landscape
• Demographic challenges
• Fiscal challenges
• Other challenges
![Page 5: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Shifting Rural Economies• National and international economies have changed• Many traditional rural economic activities are no longer
possible• Industrial recruitment has not proved successful in many
places• Many rural regions are looking
for new, diversified, and “homegrown” economic opportunities
![Page 6: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Changes to the Landscape
• Fewer farms and fewer farmers
• Conversion of working and natural land to development
• Rapid growth at metropolitan edges
• More dispersed development• Declining downtowns, main
streets, and traditional community centers
![Page 7: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Demographic Changes• Rapid population growth in some areas, shrinking
populations in others• Aging populations• Outflow of young people
![Page 8: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Fiscal Challenges• Demands for
infrastructure and services from new growth and spread-out development
• Declining revenues
• Stretched municipal and county budgets and challenges meeting local needs
![Page 9: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Other Challenges• Longer and costlier commutes• Less access to schools, health care facilities,
shopping, and other amenities and services• Limited mobility for seniors, low-income
residents, and others who do not drive or own cars
• Health challenges
![Page 10: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A Response to Rural Trends: Creating High-Quality Places
Vibrant, high-amenity, walkable places help to:•Retain young people•Attract knowledge workers and entrepreneurs•Attract and retain businesses that need skilled labor•Create and grow new businesses•Attract tourism
![Page 11: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
For High-Quality Places, Location Matters
Development within the existing community and near other development:•Capitalizes on existing historic and cultural assets •Creates mixed-use neighborhoods•Offers transportation choices•Creates vibrancy and activity•Adds up to more than the sum of its parts by serving as a catalyst for more development, drawing more people and economic activity•Meets current and future market demand
![Page 12: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
For High-Quality Places, Location Matters (continued)
Development disconnected from existing places:• Does not capitalize on and strengthen the unique assets of
the region• Is usually single-use (i.e., an industrial park or residential
subdivision)• Limits transportation choices • Does not meet future market demand• Does not increase the region’s competitive advantage
![Page 13: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How are High-Quality Places Created?
• Shaping land use to support regional economic development goals
• Integrating land use into regional economic development plans
![Page 14: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How Land Use and Development are Shaped
The places that we value in our communities do not just happen. They are shaped by a variety of factors:
• Public policies and investments• Regulations• Private landowner decisions • Economic trends
![Page 15: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

LAND USE APPROACHES THAT SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
![Page 19: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Rural Smart Growth is Development that Provides:
• A strong, more resilient economy
• Choices for where to live and how to get around
• A healthier place to live
• Opportunities to protect the things people love about the place where they live
![Page 20: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Three Goals to Maintain Rural Character and Enhance Economic
Opportunity
1. Support the Rural Landscape
2. Help Existing Places Thrive
3. Create Great New Places
![Page 21: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Goal #1: Support the Rural Landscape
Create an economic climate that enhances the viability of working lands and conserves natural lands.
![Page 22: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Strategies to Support the Rural Landscape
• Ensure the viability of the resource economy in the region
• Cultivate economic development strategies that rely on traditional rural landscapes
• Promote rural products in urban areas and support rural-urban links
• Link rural land preservation strategies to great neighborhoods
![Page 23: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Goal #2: Help Existing Places Thrive
Take care of existing assets and investments, such as downtowns, infrastructure, and places the community values
![Page 24: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Strategies to Help Existing Places Thrive
• Invest public and private funds in existing places
• Encourage private sector investment
• Build on past community investments
• Foster economic development in existing downtowns
![Page 25: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Goal #3: Create Great New Places
Build vibrant, enduring neighborhoods and communities that people, especially young people, don’t want to leave.
![Page 26: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Strategies to Create Great New Places
• Update strategic and policy documents to accommodate new growth through compact and contiguous development
• Reform policies to make it easy for developers to build compact, walkable, mixed-use places
• Recognize and reward developers that build great places using smart growth approaches, including green building strategies
![Page 27: Land Use and Economic Development in Rural Areas Supplemental Module](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ede5503460f94bee926/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Making the Connection to the Regional Perspective
• Many land use tools and policies are implemented at the local level, but should be encouraged and coordinated at the regional level.
• Regional organizations can:• Develop vision/goals ensuring growth benefits all
communities & strengthens region’s long-term competitive advantage
• Set policy priorities and work with municipalities to implement
• Obtain federal funding
