NLC Presents Webinar on ‘Economic Gardening’
The National League of Cities (NLC) will present a webinar about “Economic Gardening” on Jan. 22. Often referred to as a “grow from within” strategy, economic gardening helps existing companies in a community grow larger.
In contrast to traditional business assistance, economic gardening focuses on strategic growth challenges such as developing new markets, refining business models and gaining access to competitive intelligence.
The webinar takes place on Jan. 22 at 1:30 p.m. Central.
Speakers are:
- Penny Lewandowski, Vice President, Entrepreneurship & Strategic Direction, The Edward Lowe Foundation
- Kara Palmer Smith, Director, Business Development, GrowFL Program Director, Economic Development Council of Tallahassee / Leon County, Inc.
