ARENI Resilience Webinar:Building Resilience in Small University-Anchored Cities
June 1, 2022
12:00 PM ET/9:00 AM PT

According to a recent report by RTI International entitled Southern Small City Resilience, "Small cities are “Living laboratories” for ideas on how to generate dynamic economic opportunity across a broader geography. Small cities can provide a patchwork of economic hubs with diverse industry base, entrepreneurship, quality jobs, and quality of life for people outside of major metropolitan areas where growth and opportunity are increasingly concentrated."

The University-anchored cities of Boone and Oxford have prioritized entrepreneurship and small business development to diversify their economies to support resilient growth. These cities benefit from more than just a university presence: local university leadership is actively embracing this growth strategy alongside public investment in infrastructure and public amenities that support business growth and attractive quality of life.

This webinar will discuss the strategies, tactics, and partnerships that have contributed to resilience in these two university anchored small cities.

Presenters:
Sara Lawrence, Director of Economic Development for RTI International

Jon Maynard, President and CEO, Oxford-Lafayette County
Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Foundation

David Jackson, President and CEO, Boone Area Chamber of Commerce

This webinar is presented by the American Resilience & Equity Networks Initiative (ARENI). ARENI provides a structure for region-to-region collaboration on resilience and equity issues and EDA’s University Centers through regular convenings, online forums, and resource libraries. Using UEDA’s existing criterion for identifying best practices in higher education economic development, methods will be identified and then evaluated by an Advisory Council on originality, scalability, sustainability, impact, and replicability in other regions. Those methods that favorably meet the criteria will be elevated to present to the appropriate network.
