Communi-Versity: Economic Strategy Draws on the City and University at Prairie View


Abstract: In February 2010, community leaders and university officials who were interested in the future of both the city of Prairie View, Texas, and Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) attended a roundtable discussion hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas' Houston Branch. Out of this first meeting arose "Communi-Versity," a joint venture of the community and the university focused on creating an environment conducive to economic development.
