Revitalizing our Communities Will Revitalize our Economy

The key to training, retaining, and attracting a college-educated workforce depends on our ability to develop high quality of place communities.

Here are some forward-thinking policies that promote engaged, attractive, and innovative communities:

Economic gardening -- offering resources that help local businesses and entrepreneurs find their footing and expand
Promoting mixed-use developments
Establishing a "complete streets" ordinance
Investing in modern public transit
Ensuring broadband access to all residents
Protecting the environment

Most importantly, high quality of place communities all have a strong public education system, and well-maintained roads and bridges.
