We present to you the KENSLEY ENTERPRISES URBANREGIONAL BOOK COLLECTION.
Kensley Enterprises is pleased to make available for your reading pleasure its new informative, enlightening, and educational two (2) book capacity-building urbanregional collection.
The content and context of this MUST-READ three (3) books in the series are based on over 40 years of information-based, knowledge-based and experiential-based capacity-building in the practice of fiscally-responsible urban economic development in cities and regions throughout America.
As cities and urbanregions are increasingly becoming the place of choice for many major tech-based corporations and tech-intensive businesses, growing numbers of high-skilled, tech-savvy members and potential members of the labor force are following their lead for employment. The demographic trends are currently heavy with millennials, to which generations x, y, and z are expected to follow at least over the next decade and into the indefinite future.
Consequently, as cities and urbanregions begin welcoming this increasing growth in technology-driven business activity, population and workers, so will the demands on public infrastructure and essential public human, social and quality of life services.
The associated growth in demand will require growth in fiscal revenue capacity to pay for them even with the current strain of recurring annual revenue growth lagging behind annual expenditures in many instances.
These fiscal challenges become even more severe for those cities and urbanregions still struggling to recover from the great recession of 2007, and now facing the prospects of another recession within the foreseeable future.
Kensley Enterprises is acutely aware that cities and urbanregional competing in the 21st century technology-driven global economy cannot win future fiscal and economic development growth battles relying solely on old, and in many cases, obsolete technologies, techniques, tools, strategies and practices used in the 20th century manufacturing-based economy.

PATH TO URBAN FISCAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RECOVERY:
Overcoming the Triple 2020 Pandemic Challenges to Tax Base Growth
BOOK DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Three phenomenal pandemics are occurring during the first ten months of 2020 which continue to bring disruptions to cities and their fiscal and economic development growth dynamics. These three disruptors to the status quo include the coronavirus pandemic, the pandemic-driven recession, and the systemic and institutionalized racial pandemic of inequality, inequity, and injustice. Economic disparities are the underlying foundational conditions for the disproportionate losses which people and communities of color suffer during this particular pandemic, recession but from socioeconomic disparities in general.
However, like the tax base of cities, the negative fiscal and economic disproportionality experienced by people and communities of color began many years and decades ago. This recovery is now forcing us to pursue an inclusive, resilient and sustainable fiscal and economic development growth recovery goal for all… from it currently and the preceding economic downturns as well.
The primary objective of this book is to facilitate critical thinking about the profound effects and influences these three pandemic forces exert on the fiscal and economic well-being of all. A more important goal is to spark the immediate beginning to inclusive pro-growth corrective actions to overcome them. The book focuses attention on the Fierce Urgency of Now for next-generation growth-oriented leadership, policies, programs, tools, techniques, and strategies. New Normals trends are already becoming evident from these fiscal and economic dynamics.
This book is an absolute “must-read” for all of those parties essential to the city’s fiscal and economic development growth, and that of urbanregional communities and economies which also struggle to recover from these triple simultaneous shock waves. The Fierce Urgency of Now is to build an inclusive, resilient and sustainable “fiscal and economic development growth culture” with the capacity to energize tax base redevelopment and recovery of cities and urbanregional communities and economies throughout the nation.
A key role of local economic developers is to serve as a catalytic force in facilitating fiscal, jobs, and economic development growth of the city’s tax base. An additive “all-hands-on-deck economic redevelopment and recovery culture for all” is now essential and should be inclusive of the following: mayors and city council members, county managers and county commissioners, planning and zoning officials, business, labor, education, civic, community development, and faith-based leaders as the supporting cast of “policy-making economic developers”. Their functions are in support of the leadership of their experienced economic development professionals and practitioners. These unique triple transformative events will make it necessary to employ such New Normal game-changing approaches in innovation and innovativeness throughout recovery efforts.
This book focuses in detail on key influences of these three pandemic-like forces within the context of the city, urbanregional communities, local economic development and the New Normals arising from them.
