The Southern Maine Review
This monograph offers the first systematic and replicable analysis of the "creative economy" in a state, its constituent parts and impacts, based on the combination of current labor and census data. It concludes that the creative economy in Maine is large and growing and, in fact, represents the leading edge of economic growth in the state. Eight case studies of the creative economy in small New England cities and communities yield a series of learnings about its growth and a related community development model (the "ACE" model). Eight policy recommendations are offered to enhance and accelerate development of the creative economy at the local, regional, and state levels. Originally priced $7.95. Now available for $5.20, including sales tax, shipping and handling. |
