Northern Illinois University's Center for Governmental Studies issues periodic Policy Profiles, the most recent of which takes up "Promoting Entrepreneurship in Rural Illinois."  This report (attached as a PDF), which focuses on the economics of Illinois communities, especially those communities in the state’s struggling rural areas, presents a study co-authored by PASCAL Associate, Dr. Norman Walzer and offers insights and suggestions to help local communitydevelopment efforts.

Your comments are welcome and can be forwarded to [email protected]. 

This and previous Policy Profles can be found at www.niucgs.org/portfolio/policy_profiles.  

Northern Illinois University serves as the North American Center for PASCAL International Observatory.
