A Few Questions For Our Readers
In preparation for an upcoming article, we have some questions on regional development. We would like to ask our readers:
What does economic development mean to you?
What does sustainable development mean to you?
Should a regional plan for economic development, infrastructure, wildlife corridors, transportation, resource management, etc. be developed?
What values would you wish to see incorporated into regional development philosophies? Which do you think need more attention?
What role should municipal and county governments, business organizations, etc. play in setting the course for economic and other regional development?
Please feel free to provide us your thoughts as comments. It would be helpful if you include the part of the region in which you live and work, whether you’re a business owner, government employee, commuter, etc., and what type of work you do.
