59: Economic Development Projects 2020

We discuss the concepts in Maker City. Manufacturing can be more customized and economic development can flourish. I mention my doubts in opportunity zones and how the true way to fix many of these problems is through skill development and motivation of the workers. The question we need to ask is, "How can you motivate capital or put some guidelines or metrics in place so you can define, envision and fund things with significant change?" When you bring real estate investors together with entrepreneurs, you can bring about big change. Website: www.JasonHartman.com
