The Northeast Michigan Council of Governments (NEMCOG) has been working with People and Land (PAL) to create a local coalition to solve our economic problems. PAL believes in Six Pillars for Prosperity that I believe make sense for Michigan and, especially for our region:
1) Attractive Cities
2) Highly competitive schools and life-long learning
3) Knowledge-based technology
4) Thriving agriculture
5) Natural resources for recreation and job creation
6) Inclusive and entrepreneurial culture
Simply put, the goal of these six pillars is to make our region and state more economically successful over the long term. I think we all agree this is a worthy goal.
In the next few days, I'll try to expand on each one of these pillars, and invite you to get involved. NEMCOG, PAL, and the Prosperity Alliance are non-partisan organizations.
