 Finding a long-term place for 'place-based' development strategy
==========

The Biden administration's major spending bills, including the American Rescue Act, Inflation Investment and Jobs Act, Chips and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act, total approximately $3.8 trillion; nearly $80 billion is allocated for place-based economic development programs; Kamala Harris supports large, place-focused grant competitions aimed at revitalizing deindustrialized areas; Donald Trump criticizes deindustrialization but lacks a clear place-oriented policy; bipartisan support for place-based programs like Tech Hubs may continue regardless of election outcome; the election will significantly influence future place-based policies.
