Asset Innovation Based Economic Development
Green-G Network connects communities and regions with resources (expertise, research and financing) to develop circular economic development projects in distressed census tracts.
Green-G Network Development Projects will be anchored by locally owned businesses that:
- provide real living wage incomes for all employees;
- will not be dependent upon tax breaks or other traditionally used economic development incentives;
- utilize locally available assets and/or innovations crucial to the operation of the business.
Green-G Network was formed as a support network for communities and regions seeking to “grow their economies from within” instead of relying on recruiting and relocating businesses.
