MPC 2012 Plan for Prosperity:

Innovative Solutions for the New Normal

Each year, MPC presents its 12-month agenda for developing, advocating and implementing policies that advance our mission. In the 2012 Plan for Prosperity: Innovative Solutions for the New Normal, MPC proposes tangible ideas to bolster the economy, by rethinking how we invest in our communities, harnessing the power of technology to plan for our future, and rewarding the public and private sector for working together to more efficiently and effectively deploy resources.

Download your copy of Innovative Solutions for the New Normal. We welcome your feedback and invite you to partner with us on putting the ideas in our 2012 Plan for Prosperity to work.
