These developments require meticulous planning
on the part of the city, developers, and industry to
make the complex interactions work. As with any
strategy for economic development, there will have
to be a quantitative analysis of the economic benefits
to the community in term job creation, income generation,
etc. An EIP's development is a marketing tool
for attracting environmental companies. Cities should
analyze their available resources to determine what
eco-industrial relationships would best fit their community.
