Henry C. Renski
Henry Renski joined the faculty of Landscape Architecture and
Regional Planning in the fall of 2007. He teaches courses in quantitative
methods, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis,
and state and local economic development policy.
Dr. Renski’s research focuses on understanding the forces
driving regional economic competitiveness and transformation,
and building upon this knowledge to improve the effectiveness
of economic development policy. His current work examines regional
influences on entrepreneurship; empirical tests of agglomeration
theory; industrial cluster analysis and cluster-based development
strategies; and the application of spatial-analytical techniques
to local economic policy decision-making.
Prior to joining LARP, Dr. Renski worked as a Special Assistant
to the Governor of the State of Maine as both the Deputy Program
Manager of Maine’s WIRED (Workforce Innovations in Economic
Development) initiative and as a Research Economist with the Maine
State Planning Office.
