We the People, Social Media, and Qualitative Research. And the Public Life Foundation of Owensboro. This was the second We the People. At the Owensboro Blog. I'd like to devote the remaind...

Twenty years ago, in a strikingly perceptive series of articles in the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer, Neal Peirce and Curtis Johnson concluded that Kentucky’s third largest city had the proven capacity to set and achieve big community goals, but that its path to a stronger economy and better quality of life was impeded by related challenges – some psychic, some civic, some economic and social.

Saturday, February 26, 2005. Talking Community Economic Development. I would suggest that for the average Owensboro citizen community economic development is a frustrating notion of which most people feel they have no control. Most of us feel we are at the whims of those making decisions, and that our jobs and job opportunities are dependent on what "they" decide for "us".
