STRATEGY AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
How the strategy of the specific initiative empowers local resources (cultural capital, human capital, natural capital, economic capital)? And which ones?
The local resources are driven by the development of farmers' markets and the strategy was in 2010 stimulate a program called “People’s Produce Farmer Market” with the goal to encourage “community gardens” in vacant lot. 4.2
How the small retail is part of the strategy of the initiative?
Charles Davis told that: “Initially in 2001 the Jacobs Foundation funded small retail and a Starbucks, a Food 4 Less grocery store, but they haven’t resolved the district’s food accessibility and affordability problems”. In 2010 many small retail have closed, may be because Jacobs decided to replace with regional and national big chains, and development mostly slowed.
4.3 Are you aware of any retailers/investors who have been attracted to locate in the area as a result of the success of the original development?
