What Are You Looking At?

We’re looking at ways to improve Central Florida . . . we’re looking to you to get involved! How? By attending one or more of the myregion.org Community Issues Workshops.

Traffic. Tourism. Education. As a Central Florida resident, how do these issues affect your life every day? Public Safety. Historical Preservation. Cultural Initiatives. Try to imagine where we’d be without them. What’s your vision of home? How do you want the community to grow? Who do you see defining what the future of Central Florida will be like?

myregion.org is looking to you for your ideas. Register today to attend one or more Community Issues Workshops, July 9-12 at the Orlando Science Center.

myregion.org
myregion.org
is a three-year initiative that will help Central Floridians "build a common framework to guide the future of the region." What does that mean? It means myregion.org will help us all work together to plan our future as a single community, not as a collection of individual cities and counties. We can't afford to compete with each other any more. We must work together to compete with other metropolitan regions around the world. We're not competing with Melbourne; we're competing with Munich. Not Tampa, but Tokyo.

So how will this be accomplished? How do we learn what it takes to make this region the best in the world? Simple. We study.

Specifically, the myregion.org team has taken all of our regional issues and put them into 13 categories, or Essential Activities. Each category will be carefully studied from a regional perspective. Think of it as seeing these Essential Activities from 50,000 feet in the air.

For each issue, myregion.org and community volunteers will gather to look at data, compare experiences and brainstorm about how regional challenges can be met with regional solutions. These individuals from the government and business community will work together in Community Issues Workshops.

There will be at least two workshops for each Essential Activity -- and everyone in the community is invited to participate.
