The Following documents are key pieces of information that shape the CONNECT project in the region.

CONNECT Report - Phase I 
Summarizes the process and results of CONNECT's unique approach to regional visioning:  finding out what our local governments, key stakeholders and state organizations already have envisioned for themselves and our region. 

CONNECT Executive Summary
Provides a more detailed portrait of the region and the process and detailed summary of Core Values. Useful tool in introducing the concept of a workable, implementable vision to audiences of varying levels of expertise.

CONNECT Trifold Brochure
Provides a quick overview of the findings of Phase I, including Core Values. Helpful introduction to the region, why a vision is needed, and the topics on which we are all in sync.

CONNECT Matrix
Tool for planners, planning board or MPO members, elected officials and the interested public. It's the heart of "where did CONNECT's values come from?" It analyzes each of the framework categories, and provides source documentation for the policy or value. Good reference to learn who's doing what in the region.
