Summary/Abstract: The first part of the article explains the term and nature of local development theoretically. The aim of the empirical research was to describe the actions of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship rural districts towards acquiring investors in their area, depending on the social and economic level of the examined units (second part). The research was conducted in all the rural districts of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship (229), and the main material consisted of the data obtained from the Local Data Bank (the Central Statistical Office) and the survey questionnaire. It was concluded that the vast majority of the examined districts, regardless of their local development level, considered a unit’s website to be the best form of promotion. The construction and development of local infrastructure, which in turn contributes to raising the investment attractiveness of a district, was an equally significant incentive for potential external investors.
