Volume 3, which we have started, will provide case studies of target communities. We concentrate on Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) that have had the greatest increase in median family income. Because most studies focus on the largest areas, we use Volume 3 to focus on "mid-small MSAs," which we define as those with more than 250,000 population but less than 500,000. We will then investigate what economic development activities they undertook (both retail and wholesale), and what role those activities played.
