@LukeGlaser1 @ColbyJHall @janebradyknight @PartnersRural getting revved up...

[Tony Pipa @anthonypipa]

It was a privilege @LukeGlaser1 to be with you and leaders such as @ColbyJHall @janebradyknight @PartnersRural in Hazard KY and experience the civic and economic momentum happening there

[Luke Glaser @LukeGlaser1]

The Bi-Partisan Commission on Rural Prosperity came down with the Craft Foundation, to see what Hazard is doing right and what policy recommendations we would make to state and federal governments.

Thank you all

Better deals needed @anthonypipa

[Mark Muro @MarkMuro1]

Of note: Here's a good, tough perspective on data center deals from @GregLeRoy4 @GoodJobsFirst:

To improve results from Community Benefits Agreements states need to require strong process safeguards on the deals

My newest work asks whether new Data Centers are driving up residential construction costs and home prices. Some interesting, tentative evidence with policy implications.
