Paper provides insights from 50 collected interviews with rural development administrators and practitioners in Texas.
Interviews suggest a need for a multi-level rural development system that responds to changes in the rural economy. Ideally, the multi-level system would operate through a statewide mandate with strong leadership from the Office of the Governor.
Policy recommendations in this paper are divided into three categories: 1) Recommendations for a new state rural development policy framework; 2) State policy recommendations for 1992-1993; 3) Specific program recommendations for 1992-1993.
