Economic Development is usually the focus of federal, state, and local governments to improve our standard of living through the creation of jobs, the support of the innovation and new ideas, the creation of higher wealth, and the creation of overall better quality of life. Economic development is often defined by others based on what it is trying to accomplish. Many times these objectives include building or improving infrastructure such as roads, bridges, etc.; improving our education system through new schools; enhancing our public safety through fire and police service; or incentivizing new businesses to open a location in a community.
