Abstract
One of the fundamentals of contemporary economic development is that you have to build a community where people want to live -- not just work, but live -- their life in a convenient and experience-filled way. This fact is reflected in almost every recent study of trend lines for where companies are placing headquarters and where Millennials are choosing to move. In 2010, the Knight Soul of the Community study investigated just why people move somewhere -- it asked Great schools, good transit, affordable health care and safe streets all help create strong communities. Any economic development practitioner will tell you there is no such thing as a silver bullet when building a great community. This article will outline the basics of having an arts-based economic development strategy as part of that mix -- or what we at the National Endowment for the Arts call "creative placemaking." Having the arts at the economic development table can lead to enormous benefits for your efforts.
