North Carolina’s County Distress Rankings System (Tiers System) guides many economic development policy and funding decisions, but how well does the current design and application serve communities across the state?
Join this session at the Working Group on Economic Development as researchers from NCGrowth and the ncIMPACT Initiative present findings from a recent review of the system and share stakeholder insights into how more effective measures might be designed. The project was funded by the North Carolina Collaboratory.
