Green New Deal Offers Big Growth Potential for Rural and Small Towns

At the moment GND is the umbrella concept for a series of proposals that incorporate good wages in a sustainable economy that exists in a clean, safe and healthy community. The framework recognizes we have smart skilled labor, good natural resources and plenty of drive in Rural and Small Town America to invest in for the long haul.

Under the GND, Rural and Small Town America can be home to new or expanding jobs including:

Since the rollout, there has been predicable and somewhat pedestrian politically motivated criticism and false claims that GND calls for an end to oil, gas and coal extraction (if you read the resolution closely, it really doesn’t call for that). Detractors are striving to paint GND as a radical concept, but really it’s more about giving the United States a competitive edge in global markets that countries like China are hoping to dominate.

For now, at least, lets put aside all the talk of doom and gloom from those who reject the GND without even seeing its actual forthcoming proposals. Lets study just what opportunities exist in the strategy for Rural and Small Town America before we buy into the hysteria. What we first must understand is the GND is set up to work like a cafeteria. We can pick and choose what appeals to us and skip the rest. It is not an “all of nothing” idea.
