Thanks for pointing out the critical elements of leadership and vision when it comes to economic development growth. Cities must take charge of the process if it is to be successful. Looking forward to helping more cities discover and realize their potential. :)

Man you hit it right on! I want to emphasize that what I think you are saying by stating that it isn't necessary that cities and town governments grow their services in order to grow their communities, but rather be more flexible and unified in their mission - a mission to grow (or merely survive depending on the situation). Essentially, the right hand MUST know what the left hand is doing if you are going to create an environment that encourages growth.
How many homes never get bought at their worth because home owners fail to do the simple things to spruce things up and ensure that a transaction will be painless and orderly?
Cities too must ensure that their house is in order and that they are presenting themselves in such a way as to attract the best possible "price" or reward for their community offerings. Indeed, I would argue that anything less is a misuse of public funds.
