Competitive City Agenda and Action Network

Competitive City Action Network: Build on Assets Initiatives

Louisville’s economic standing suffered badly in the national shift from a manufacturing economy, in which it excelled, to a knowledge economy, in which it did not. But the community retained many important assets on which a Competitive City Agenda, and a new era of economic and social prosperity, can be built.

Beyond Merger affirmed the wisdom of the strategy to target economic development efforts on sectors of strength, including healthcare and logistics, and added the dimension of a vibrant downtown and “package of amenities” as important selling points for the New Economy.
