Smaller legacy cities share common challenges that have increased the urgency for economic development strategies. In these places, small-scale manufacturing is a strategy that has produced early results and demonstrated strong potential for supporting local economic growth.
In late 2022, The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the Urban Manufacturing Alliance published a working paper that highlights models across three case study cities of Akron, Ohio; Duluth, Minnesota; and New Bedford, Massachusetts, that are utilizing an ecosystems approach that helps small manufacturing businesses start and scale where they are.
This is an unprecedented time in manufacturing, with once-in-a-lifetime federal investments being made in the sector. The working paper combines examples of small-scale manufacturing strategies for implementation in order to offer a sense of possibility for smaller legacy cities, arguments to support advocacy for local small-scale manufacturing, and leads to start developing such ecosystems for peer cities—all of which could be supported with increased investment.
This webinar offers a practical introduction to small-scale manufacturing as part of a strategy for inclusive community economic development and features speakers from each of the three cities.
In the webinar, presenters:
discuss examples of ongoing small-scale manufacturing strategies that smaller legacy cities can implement;
provide examples of how to support advocacy for local small-scale manufacturing;
discuss how other cities can start developing their own manufacturing ecosystems; and
examine ways small-scale manufacturing intersects with sustainability and racial equity.

Speakers
Derek Santos is a lifelong resident of New Bedford with a 25-year background in development, city planning, architecture and historic preservation. He has been with the New Bedford Economic Development Council since 2007, serving as the director of business development, director of operations, and now executive director of a dynamic team of business development professionals.

In his many community and professional roles, Lars Kuehnow has designed and launched an entrepreneurship partnership with the University of Minnesota Duluth for minority community members underrepresented in the local business ecosystem. The program included three prongs, Cultural Entrepreneur Program, Community Partners, and Creative Startups Incubation Cohort, and became second largest Creative Startups cohort worldwide. In a rundown commercial corridor, he used strategic planning, marketing basics and dogged leadership to bring in 35 new businesses and 200+ new jobs in under three years. Kuenhnow is also responsible for helping revitalize a community manufacturing career program that previously got its funding slashed. By re-aligning the entire program framework, reducing expenses, and broadening the pipeline for manufacturers and applicants, he kept the program alive with record high outcomes and record low costs.

Research on Land-Based Financing Approaches for Climate Action
The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy invites proposals for original research that examines opportunities for, and challenges with, implementing land-based financing (LBF) instruments, including land value capture, to promote and fund climate adaptation, mitigation, or resiliency measures, with a focus on equity, urban form, and nature-based solutions. The research should help inform practitioners, policy makers, and decision makers.
The geographic focus of this RFP is global. Proposals will be reviewed competitively according to the weighted evaluation criteria indicated below. Outputs are expected to result in working papers appropriate for publication.
Research Themes
The following issues and themes are of interest to the Lincoln Institute, but the list is not exhaustive, and applicants may submit a proposal that addresses other topics or issues. However, the proposal must consider LBF as a tool for climate action by addressing the following:
The necessary enabling conditions for the use of LBF for climate action, including but not limited to, market conditions, public perception of risk, and the pricing of climate risk in land markets
The legal, regulatory, and institutional considerations for using LBF for climate action, including informal or nontraditional forms
The types of climate action, including infrastructure investments and regulatory action, that have the greatest potential for the application of LBF
Temporal considerations for LBF for climate action (e.g., charges for long-term benefits of climate action or the timeframe for realizing land value increments).
Innovative uses of LBF for climate action
The potential nonrevenue-related benefits of LBF for climate action, such as equity
Unintended outcomes (positive or negative) of the approaches, with an emphasis on equity
Proposals
Proposals must be submitted online via the web-based application form and must follow the complete RFP guidelines. Proposals submitted by email or mail will not be accepted. Incomplete proposals, proposals received after the due date, or proposals that do not adhere to the format defined in the guidelines will not be accepted.
Proposals must be submitted in English. The final work produced pursuant to the RFP (if selected for an award) must be in English.
Evaluation Criteria
The Lincoln Institute will evaluate proposals based on the following criteria:
The project’s relevance to the RFP’s theme of land-based finance tools for climate action: 35 percent
Rigor of proposed methodology: 25 percent
Potential impact and usefulness of the research for practitioners: 25 percent
Capacity and expertise of the team and relevant analytical and/or practice-based experience: 15 percent
