CNN Community Economic Development Roundtable Discussions

What does community economic development mean to you in your neighborhood? CNN is hosting a series roundtable dialogues for neighborhood, community, and business district leaders. This is an opportunity to share your ideas on community economic development where thriving neighborhood businesses contribute to healthy communities. In November, 2010 we heard the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability findings for CNN 20-minute neighborhoods and discussed how we can create and build on opportunities to work together on equity and local prosperity. See you in 2011 for more insightful conversations and advocacy!
