(The survey ends Oct. 11th, 2011.)

Blogger's Note: We need this effort to gain some traction and some effective changes need to come out of this project.  Hopefully this effort will help communities better understand their own assets as a part of the greater region, utilize regional assets as a marketing tool, and begin to position ourselves with how the State of Wisconsin ends up presenting itself as a place to do business.  Quality of life will always be important, but the focus needs to stay on growing our local and regional economy. Of course, making this about the Madison region and not just Madison is always a challenge.
