Abstract: Planned retirement/recreation communities are one way for rural areas with attractive amenities to develop their economies. These communities can benefit rural areas by providing new employment and income opportunities and by generating more local government revenues than costs. Tellico Village, TN, is an example of a planned community that added substantially to local government revenues through property taxes, but generated relatively few new jobs in the county.
