Economic Development
Economic development can hinge on restoring or stabilizing a community’s infrastructure. MAP helps the community or tribe analyze its needs and plan for business expansion and housing availability using a variety of tools. MAP also can guide consideration of remediation, redevelopment and reuse of contaminated sites and properties including brownfields and superfund sites.
MAP also works in conjunction with an independent, revolving community loan organization that helps provide funds for projects across MAP’s scope, including enterprise development, housing and infrastructure stabilization.
Examples
of how MAP has helped communities and tribal nations address their economic
development issues include: Visioning
Workshop (pdf, 1.1mb) and Standing
Rock Reservation (pdf, 1.45mb).
