Impact Team - Description

Over the next two years, the Region Forward Coalition will bring together members from diverse sectors to address complex interdisciplinary challenges and increase the region’s prosperity,

sustainability, accessibility, and livability.  Regional Activity Centers will be focal points for implementing the ambitious goals and target in Region Forward, and the Impact Team will develop strategies and partnerships to make these Activity Centers more complete. 

Impact team members will prioritize regional opportunities and will generate strategies, leverage existing resources, and coordinate partnerships to address them.  Examples of these opportunities include preparing the region’s lower skilled workforce for participation in the area’s main industry clusters; creating a medium for the region’s communities (through its citizenry) to tell its stories as it relates to Region Forward; and pooling resources to preserve affordable housing throughout the region.  The Impact Team’s efforts will result in concrete implementation tools and programs that will be managed by COG and its partners.
