The Tri-State Development Summit is sharpening its focus and addressing issues related to four task forces. Summit Task Force committees have been the driving force behind a number of accomplishments in the tri-state region, including:
- Achieving the development of nearly 1,300 miles of regional highway priorities.
- Creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to network and grow their businesses.
- Promoting regional tourist attractions through collaborative marketing pieces.
- Starting a Workforce Development Consortium that works with the private sector to offer training needed to strengthen the economy of the entire region.
The 4 Summit Task Forces and the years they were established are:
Connectivity (2007)
Housing (2005)
Tourism (1997)
