Our small towns, larger cities and farm communities have one thing in common – they all want a bright future for their families and their businesses.  Whether you’ve chosen a career in planning, or just want to participate in a precedent-setting approach to putting priorities where they belong, CONNECT is an exciting chance to make history.

We’ve already taken 75 plans and reports already produced throughout the region, and looked at them together with the help of a task force attended by planners and involved residents.  What they came up with and what you contribute will inform this website as the project evolves.  Click on How to CONNECT, and explore the many resources available to you already!
