Abstract: Why is it important to know where the authority for local economic development resides among public organizations, private organizations, and public-private organizations? Understanding local organizations as actors to implement development policies and programs has obvious significance for development priorities and success in communities. From the results of a national survey in 2009, this study found that public organizations were the most dominant actor for county economic development, and public-private organizations were the second. Also, counties with an economic decline and a reformed form of government relied more on public-private organizations to promote favorable economic conditions, while those with stronger environmental interests chose public organizations as the active actor for county economic development.
