Public Policies to Create Places of Prosperity in Michigan

The Prosperity Agenda proposes public policies to create places in Michigan where prosperity happens. The Prosperity Agenda policies will create Michigan communities where:

• People are living, working, shopping, and playing without having to commute or travel great
  distances.

• Public transit is generating thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in new commercial and residential development and redevelopment.

• Young, college-educated, talented and creative people are choosing to live.

• Places have bountiful offerings of art, culture, theater, music, restaurants, cafes, libraries, and green spaces.

• Mixed-use developments are sustainable now and for future generations, are environmentally friendlier, and cost less to maintain and operate.

We are calling on the 96th Michigan Legislature, Governor Rick Snyder, the business
community, local elected leaders, and citizens to work together to pass the Prosperity Agenda in 2011 and 2012.
