Economic development efforts are often a key driver to getting the ball rolling on redevelopment of Brownfield properties.

Separately, the energy and creativity that come from the instructors and students at our institutions of higher education often result in great progress in research and problem solving.

Add economic development and higher education together and you get The University Economic Development Association (UEDA).

I talked with John Roberts (jarobert@iastate.edu, President of UEDA) today about his organization and learned that it’s a great place for students to learn about and get involved in the economic development community. Check it out at www.UniversityEDA.org!

The University Economic Development Association (UEDA) is dedicated to serving the nation’s institutions of higher education and their economic development affiliates. UEDA focuses on policy, practice, and partnerships that enhance the relationship between higher education and economic development. www.UniversityEDA.org
