A Case Study Of The Enterprise Zone Program: “Ez” Avenue To Minority Economic Development?, Sherri Wallace

Sherri L. Wallace

To have a long-term impact on minority communities, economic development policies should identify ways to increase minority economic development through entrepreneurship and job creation strategies.

Life On "Ez" Street: Linking Community Economic Development To The Empowerment Zones And Enterprise Community Policy Goals, Sherri Wallace

Sherri L. Wallace

This is an examination of the literature on community economic development and its relation to the stipulated urban empowerment zone and enterprise community policy goals: economic opportunity, sustainable community development, community-based partnerships, and overall community strategic vision.
