How can local governments build resilient economies that can withstand economic downturns?
That’s the topic of the latest episode from the Local Government Insights podcast, hosted by Avenu Insights & Analytics.
In this episode, Avenu interviews Michael Huling, Sr., a County Planner and author of “The Need for Strategic Economic Diversification.”
Huling studied Political Science at UC San Diego and obtained his Masters in Public Policy from Pepperdine University's School of Public Policy. He is currently employed as a Senior Planner in Clark County, Nevada and serves as an Advisory Council Member at the Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership.
Drawing on examples from the Rust Belt, Las Vegas and Pittsburgh, Huling discusses how and why local economies should be diversified.
