Project Design and Implementation Resources

To help address the region’s biggest challenges and connect communities within the Valley to the future, we compiled valuable resources anchored in research from across the country, trends from our region and the focus areas most important to our communities. While the specific solutions may look different for urban, suburban and rural regions, the process to implement these projects follows a standard framework and roadmap.
