Improving Economy and Quality of Life


By John Bebow - May 22, 2008

The second leg in the MDM agenda is A Vibrant Economy & Great Quality of Life.

It means:

  • Diversifying the Michigan economy.
  • Growing an entrepreneurial culture.
  • Rejuvenating communities to assure they have the amenities, culture and diversity to develop, attract, and retain talented people.
  • Rebranding Michigan as the vibrant "North Coast."
  • To achieve those aims, Community Conversations participants recommend such actions as increasing collaborative regional economic development efforts, treating the arts and culture as economic development assets, improving our cor infrastructure but also effectively managing infrastructure costs, balancing natural resources protection with sustainable development, and making redevelopment a priority over new development.
