Abstract Details

2009, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
As a relatively new economic development tool, Joint Economic Development Districts, or JEDDs, have been on the rise over the past decade. Little information exists detailing why JEDDs are becoming more frequently utilized. The information that exists only documents the history of their creation. With little to no information, the question was raised: Are JEDDs effective in achieving their goals? Through the creation and use of a Goals-Achievement Matrix, an evaluation took place on three JEDDs, each of which was created at different times. Analysis shows that JEDDs are effective in achieving the identified goals but at varying degrees of success. Likewise, JEDDs enable participating communities to achieve their goals while maintaining jurisdictional independence. This analysis is the first of its kind and provides some insight as to why JEDDs are growing in use.
