University-Community Partnerships: A assessment of Shawnee State University's role in the economic development of downtown Portsmouth, Ohio

CRAYCRAFT, ERICA GAIL

Abstract Details

2008, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
Portsmouth, Ohio is a small, struggling city in rural Appalachia. The population has steadily declined since its peak in 1930, in part due to the closing of industrial plants throughout the decades. Portsmouth is home to Shawnee State University, which, through university-community partnerships, is likely to be the most influential entity to the city's survival and success. Three emergent themes from both the university and community will be identified and assessed. These themes, in conjunction with a literature review and personal experience, will be used to formulate recommendations to overcome the city's barriers to economic development.
