Leave clippings on the lawn. If they are excessively heavy, rake them up and remove them. Clippings contain nutrients and water, breakdown rapidly and do not contribute significantly to thatch. You can cut down your fertilizer (especially nitrogen) by 20%-35% by leaving the clippings on.
Organizing a Local Economic Development Strategy. Ideally, the development of a Local Economic Development (LED) strategy will be an integral part of a broader strategic planning process for a subnational region, city, town or rural area. Effective strategic planning ensures that priority issues are addressed and limited resources are well targeted.
A local community may, however, offer economic development incentives merely as a defensive measure to maintain parity with adjacent communities. The composition of a stateâs or local communityâs economic base can be a factor in the adoption of incentive programs.
