In the United States, economic development policy occurs at federal, state, and local levels. It is at the local level that there is greater opportunity for direct, democratic input of community values that often result in balanced development that is considerate of social, ecological, and environmental ramifications; hence policy and planning at the local level appears most meaningful for sustainable development endeavors. International case studies that look at how best to manage natural resources that have economic and life support functions, find that local input accentuates administrator knowledge, creating management models that sustain the resource for community, biological, and economic purposes. Taking this as a starting point, domestic economic development planning in the 21st century would seem to benefit from a robust participatory process that leads to policy design and an analytical framework that makes the trade-offs among values transparent and understood, rather than assuming that traditional frameworks like revenue impact and cost-benefit calculations will adequately operationalize the complexity of environmental and social priorities as well as economic. This research looks to address the problem of how to ensure that economic development planning at the local level is inclusive of social and environmental factors that are impacted by development, in effect, ensuring that economic priorities are embedded into socio-cultural relations and biological limits. The integrated sustainability assessment model developed in this research applies theories of public policy and ecological economics to derive a sound and workable model. The two sets of theories are tied together by concepts and assumptions articulated in sustainable development theory, which provides the lens through which the concept of an embedded economy can be analyzed. The ensuing research analyzes the evolution of sustainable development theory and the concomitant theoretical components, democratic theory and the policy process, and sustainable development indicator design. These theoretical foundations provide the basis to create a model that effectively embeds the economy into social and ecological relations by evaluating the impacts of development projects on social, economic, and environmental priorities in a community using a single assessment.
