The study is intended to lead to development of joint strategies to promote and support the expansion of employment clusters in the two-county region and to identify specific areas in which the two regions should coordinate infrastructure planning and public policy to support the growth of these common clusters. There is no existing working group or committee that can perform this function.

Meeting Times and Locations

The Working Group will meet monthly or as deemed necessary to provide input on the advancement of the Economic Cluster Study and to discuss matters related to the Economic Development Strategy of Phase II.
