As stated in the thesis project "Community Economic Development begins with the belief that small communities can be viable, and that local people can take charge of their own development, and effect the future direction of their community. Real Community Economic Development provides an opportunity for the community as a whole to develop a consensus on where the future lies and this brings into focus what has to be undertaken now to begin moving towards a desired vision. Many smaller, rural communities, like many in Newfoundland, are often associated with dependency upon a narrow economic base, epitomized in the term "single-industry" towns. In communities dominated by a single or small number of employers, the narrow economic base often results in vulnerability of the entire community. This implied dependency can too easily affect initiative. This expresses itself as " What are THEY (government) going to do to help us?
