Connected Region 2050 will unite the region to develop a collective vision and actionable strategies to ensure our region remains strong, vibrant, and connected. The effort will not duplicate existing local plans or strategies. Instead, Connected Region 2050 provides a framework to ensure that our collective efforts align; allowing us to all row in the same direction, even if we are seated in different boats. The effort is meant to amplify and align the ongoing good work in the region. Connected Region 2050 will be just one element of a larger ThriveCentralNC movement meant to convene and enhance collaborative opportunities across our area.
