Janus Institute

The mission of the Janus Institute is to help economic development professionals and the communities they serve advance through unique peer learning and educational opportunities including the Janus Forum. The Institute is based on the belief that economic development is an applied discipline and that much can be learned from the experience of communities and practitioners. Activities of the Institute include administering and communicating the results of the Janus Forum, serving as a focal point for community and economic development best practices, conducting applied research in partnership with other organizations, and assisting communities upon request.

The Janus Institute, in partnership with Rock Paper Scissors, has introduced a new resource for community and economic development called Prosperous Places, a blog for sharing knowledge and ideas on how to move communities forward for all interested persons.
