Glencora Haskins is the Senior Research Analyst and Applied Research Manager at Brookings Metro, where she researches place-based strategies for inclusive economic development.

She also leads the production of Brookings Metro’s Local Government ARPA Investment Tracker and annual Metro Monitor, which support local and regional leaders in making data-driven decisions based on current and actionable insights about their communities.
