The economic strategies and action steps outlined in the study included a focus on Agriculture, Arts and tourism, and manufacturing. Therefore cultivating IREED’s purpose to develop and sustain relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and provide a collective strategy for building institutional and community capital for economic and entrepreneurship development stated, Dr. Megan Webb, Eastern’s Dean of Community Engagement and Partnerships. The IREED New Biz Launchpad will house the Agriculture Innovation Department and provide services from the Potomac Highlands Creative Economy and the Potomac Highlands Food Co-op.
