    Ridleyville Case Study

    Well, if I was in charge of the project in the city of Ridleyville. I would build a business complex upward to save pace and also build a small size park on the riverfront. However, the reason I choose this decision is because businesses brings other business which will help the economy grow. Also, increase the amount of parkland and open space in the city, especially in the downtown riverfront area. For the city to stay economically sustainable, you need jobs. Also, with the base being close down, that will decrease the job rate in Ridleyville. So the city will have to put something in that area to fill that gap. However, making this decision will help address the growing budget deficit. By building a business complex would lower unemployment rates and increased economic growth reduce the need for government-funded programs such as unemployment insurance and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).If the city can get the small portion of open space through tax incentives, they can build a park on the open space.…

    The City of Kelsey, “a great place to grow.” M. Kelsey founded the City of Kelsey in 1932.

    Denton County Case Study

    Denton County’s status as a metropolitan city is interesting due it’s socioeconomic patterns. The county is in the state of Texas, where a large percentage of the population is not classified as urban, yet a large proportion of the land area is classified as urban. The opposite, however, is true for Denton County, whose urban population percentage is even higher than that of the United States and while its urban area is significantly lower, than that of Texas, it still exceeds the urban area percentage of the United States as well. This is possibly because while Denton County is a metropolitan city, the metropolitan center is in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Those who need to work in this area would settle somewhere nearby and Denton County’s proximity to both these cities makes it a prime location for urban workers, with over 50% of the workers in Denton commuting outside of the county to work.…

    I would like to start this report off by saying that I have never been to city council meeting before, even though my father was the mayor, and still serves on city council back in my home town of Kingsford, Michigan. I found this experience both interesting and exhausting to see and understand the scope of the council’s role and responsibilities in keeping this city running. All members of council must have to have a very extensive education and background in finance and public administration even in mid-sized city like Colorado Springs. I couldn’t imagine the business required in a major metropolitan city.…
