      abstract = {Rural communities across the country are sometimes forced  to cope with the closure or downsizing of a major employer.  Five communities in Minnesota and North Dakota recently  coped with these events. Interviews with community leaders,  together with a survey of almost 600 residents, revealed  that community adjustments were facilitated by the presence  of an active local or regional economic development  organization, by substantial lead time prior to the closure  or downsizing, and by cohesive local leadership with  connections to State and regional organizations.},
