Summary
Continuing the work of Chapter 9, this chapter looks at business site leasing and public housing on the reservation. It highlights the dynamic potential of local experimentation, coupled with an allowance for localities to capture some of the benefits of experimentation, to facilitate development. Both public housing and business site leasing offer lessons from past successes and past failures, but, as the chapter explains, local empowerment could help spur deeper capital investment in parts of the reservation that are currently neglected.
