Josh Birks is an economic development star. Overseeing one of the USA’s fastest growing cities, Fort Collins Colorado, Josh and his team have led a $330 million dollar redevelopment project, retained major corporate headquarters and were selected as one of Bloomberg’s Champion Cities in supporting sustainable development.
While we often think of local government as serving the citizens, it’s often overlooked that every City has a business community requiring support and advocacy. Today, Josh and I go deep on how to create a vibrant local economy, the necessary tension between business and citizen interests, plus the unique code of ethics that binds Coloradan cities. |
