I'm a participant in this same program in Memphis, TN (look for my "Show HN" post in the near future). The focus has been on strong mentorship and an intense schedule of customer discovery and product development. I'm proud of my hometown for creating this program. For areas such as Memphis that have struggled, I strongly believe the economic development focus needs to shift more to tech and software. There is talent here, but very little infrastructure to develop it. Programs like Seed Hatchery and LaunchMemphis are working to change that.
