Kristi (and others) ... first and foremost, let me recommend catching up on all the output of the Northeast-Midwest Institute -- lots on the states; Charlie Bartsch and Elizabeth Collaton there may be the best single soruce of what's hppening across the states...of course, in trying to cover the watefront, they may miss some critical minutia of details on implementation... Second, there are excellent materials from the National Governors' Association Center for Best Practice, third, if you have not spotted it yet, there is an interesting study a year or so ago from the Council of Great Lakes Governors, Inc. (they are in Chicago). I've actually mentioned this project before, but it bears repeating, since we'd love to expand on what we have with data from other states, if information is available.... I currently am pincipal investigator for a HUD study of stateVCP and economic development efforts entitled "Assessment of State Initiatives to Promote Redevelopment of Brownfields." We are actually trying to go beyond case studies to statistical analysis, which is what HUD wanted, but we have a severely limited study simply because not enough states have brownfield project (or even economic development project) data in computer readable form and we had to have that to be able to get anywhere with no money for going to states and copying, transcribing paper files... the study is looking at MA, MI and PA -- in large part because of their data bases. We also have state case study data to augment the statistical files, and I would be happy to look into collaborations that would broaden our scope after we are done with our delivery of a product to HUD's specifications... and I assume HUD would let us share our data at that point. Unfortunately for the immediate future, I am on my way out of the country next week until late July, so I can't think in detailed terms right now... if you want, hit me again in August... -- Peter B.
