Dr. Delore Zimmerman and Dave Roby will be traveling next week to Washington DC to meet with select congressional leaders on the launching of the Heartland Development Bank.
The Heartland Development Bank is being developed to invest in infrastructure and infrasystems within the heartland for rural economic development and expansion.
Infrastructure is one of the basic building blocks of economic opportunity. The standard infrastructure package of the economy includes highways, airports, harbors, utility distribution systems, railways, water and sewer systems, and communications networks.
In today’s network-centric, innovation driven economy infrastructure also includes university and lab facilities, technology and training centers, export processing facilities, and research parks. These infrasystems – integrations of facilities, technology and advanced socio-technical capabilities – have emerged as key drivers of innovation and the locus of future higher-value industries and higher-paying jobs.
