The Applied Population Lab provides information solution through a unique set of skills that unites applied demography, health geography, spatial analysis, information systems, planning and community development.
Community and Economic Development (CED)
The Community Economic Development program promotes local economic well-being and quality of life in Wisconsin communities. We work with and support community economic development practitioners and organizations, tribal and governmental entities, and business and nonprofit organizations and help gain access to the information, research, education, and technical assistance necessary to make informed decisions.
