Regional Efforts
MVRPC's mission is to provide "a forum and resource where regional partners identify priorities, develop public policy and implement collaborative strategies to improve the quality of life and economic vitality throughout the Miami Valley". In order to achieve that mission, MVRPC has focused regional efforts in two main aspects: providing various publications as resources to quantify the current standing of the Region. And providing a variety of initiatives to engage the public in defining the future of the region.
Among the resources that MVRPC has made available to define the character of the Region are the State of the Region report, the MSA Regional Comparison study, Urbanization Trends, study of existing Regional Cooperation, and MetroPatterns report.
MVRPC is also working with a large spectrum of regional partners to try to develop a road map to a successful future for the Region. Among the current initiatives are the Regional Principles, an outgrowth of the Regional Dialogue, Sustainable Growth Initiative, First Suburbs, and the Vacant Property Revitalization project.
