Abstract
  • Universities and colleges can influence the planning and economic development of their host communities through a number of vehicles. They can become partners with the municipality in which they reside, act independently through a for-profit agent, or act through a not-for-profit agent such as a community development corporation (CDC). Where there is an established community bordering on the campus, the university is very likely to participate in a community-based development corporation. This article gives a brief overview of some aspects of community economic development efforts that are associated with various universities. Particular emphasis is placed on the outcomes of such efforts that are associated with three schools in Mecklenburg County - the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Davidson College and Johnson C. Smith University.
