Abstract: Local economic development policies and programs should integrate the reality that values are inherent in the design and conduct of any evaluation. This article outlines the content of several attempts in the subsequent articles in this issue to define alternative strategies and methodologies for evaluation. Some of these articles provide concrete examples of such methods; others offer parameters for and considerations on new methodologies and factors that should be included. Taken as a whole, this collection of articles represents a first stab at seeking an answer to the question, What are the benefits to the public of programs funded by public funds?
