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.
