Local

I wonder how much taxpayers paid for a report advocating:

"Martin said the report was created through an extensive community engagement process. From it came four guiding principles that encourage community leaders to:
• Build on the region’s many assets.
• Maximize the use of existing infrastructure.
• Preserve agricultural land and open space.
• Encourage community connection and cooperation.
To help communities reuse existing, vacant properties, Martin said the MVRPC is helping communities obtain grants and tax credits for economic development and rehabilitation projects."

Central plans won't fix the local economy.
