Local organizations are crucial for implementing place-based policies in the US, but uneven capacity and coordination between federal, state, and local agencies create disparities in who benefits from these programs. Federal funding and incentives often favour wealthier regions, while local institutional weaknesses and fragmented governance limit effectiveness in lower-resourced areas.
