The Common Framework
In 2002, WMSA published The Common Framework: Information and Maps for Decison Makers, a sourcebook that uses innovatitve geographic information system technologies to create a "common framework" document that clearly depicts how the communities in the region are connected. Intended as a tool for decision-makers, The Common Framework identified six Priorities for Regional Collaboration (PRC) and has been the foundation for the many partnerships fostered by WMSA to date.
- Create a Regional Mindset
- Foster a Prosperous Economy
- Strengthen Community Through Diversity
- Ensure a Sustainable Environment
- Revitalize Our Urban Centers
- Develop a Tri-Plex Growth Strategy
