She notes that these businesses can help diversify the area and make local economies and markets more inclusive and resilient, as well as build stronger connections between people, increase economic resiliency, and create wealth building opportunities for more people in the community. She describes how economic development has been done in a way that leaves most people and places behind and why a new economic development model is needed; a stronger economic development model that incorporates small-scale manufacturing businesses and an inclusive community of business owners; a method to save downtown areas using five steps; and the steps: understanding the community, key assets, and the desired outcomes; finding and connecting with small-scale manufacturing business owners, property owners, and others; interviewing them; analyzing the interviews; and getting started and implementing the plan.
