A Stronger Focus on Small Firms Needed - 08/02/2010 A recent article from Harvard Business Review confirms a key reality to spurring job growth in communities: research shows support for small firms pays off better. "Instead of trying to buy their way out of a recession with one big break to one big employer, politicians should reduce costs for start-up companies and small businesses," the authors wrote. |

Designing Creative Communities - 06/07/2010 One sign of a healthy community is the integration of creativity into its mindset.

Consider what ways you can make unique connections and cross-pollination in your industry. Make a stop by Junk Evolution and Art Post - or your nearest creative shop - for a spark. |

The recent Bike the Bend drew nearly 2,000 riders to the welcoming streets and paths of South Bend, Mishawaka and St. Joseph County. Chic wine and art fairs in Berrien County are full of creative pizazz, and Goshen's groundbreaking First Fridays has developed a loyal following.

Bidding for an online giant's favor - 04/14/2010 If South Bend leaders can convince Google that the city is ideal for the internet giant's evaluation of ultra high-speed access to a community -- the win would be a major one. Touting its existing fiber optic network and burgeoning high-tech development parks, economic officials conducted an online survey and has launched a Web pitch called "The IP City." Reports say the competition is tight (Elkhart is vying too) with scores of other municipalities making similar bids. A win would be a major PR and development coup. |
