Eppa Rixey studies how regulators compete to enable business activity in their jurisdictions–and how they can cultivate community identity and engagement in the process. Eppa is passionate about how companies such as craft brewers help create places in cities where relationships, trust, and connection thrive. His passion also extends to a local project in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at Jerry’s Pond, where a real-estate developer has worked with local groups to envision how this asbestos-filled space can be cleaned and repurposed in ways that elevate both the community and the companies that seek to do business there. Eppa reflects on how the fabric of communities depends on the emergence of new ways of governing community interactions that are less onerous and more direct in creating the transparency and accountability that underlie trust.
