A brief summary of Ramsey County's plan to build economic prosperity countrywide. Characteristics that make this initiative innovative include the use of a balanced scorecard approach to building opportunity; the use of GPS to identify areas of concentrated poverty and directly work to increase economic development in those areas; and the attempt to grow land, capital, and people simultaneously with limited resources.
