Abstract	Participants in a symposium on economic development in rural New York State analyzed existing strengths and weaknesses of the state's rural areas and made policy suggestions relating to three broad goals: (1) ease government constraints on rural businesses in order to encourage growth and development; (2) build on and strengthen the positive factors that will improve the well-being of rural businesses and families; and (3) enhance New York's rural economy through improved production and dissemination of information, as well as local, regional, and statewide networking to produce and use the information. Strengths identified included the work ethic of the rural population, the existing entrepreneurial spirit, availability of natural resources, the healthy rural environment, and the diversifying economic base. Weaknesses covered concerns such as the present tax structure, soaring construction costs, and uncoordinated government services. Policy suggestions included equity in the share of per capita state assistance flowing into rural New York, requiring rural impact statements to accompany all new regulations, improving communication between state and local agencies, centralizing information gathering and dissemination functions, and creating a rural development corporation that would focus private and public resources on the special needs of rural New York.
