Unique Value Proposition and Target Industries
Module 1 covers the first set of blocks from the Economic Development Canvas, “Unique Value Proposition,” and “Target Industries.” These are the essential components we will use to design the rest of the blocks and the direction of the pitch itself. Here, we go over identifying target industries and industry clusters to pursue to optimize existing infrastructure and the skills of the local labor pool.

Module 4
"Key Metrics" & "Partnerships"
Key metrics and partnerships will allow participating cities to ensure they have everyone they need at the table to explore forms of growth and find optimal ways to measure development and goals, creating strategies with ESOs and other workforce support networks.
Module 5
"Cost, Incentives" & "Impact on Revenues"
Cost, incentives, and Impact on revenues will be studied by creating a space to think about costs associated with incentives and how they impact the local economy. This way, participants can balance expenditures and benefits from existing incentive structures. This reassessment of assets and expenses will create an opportunity for creative problem solving and innovation through prioritizing funds and practical recruitment efforts.
