An Informative Series of Reports About The Future of Maine

If you are interested in reading a series of very informative reports about the future of Maine, check out Charting Maine's Future: An Action Plan for Promoting Sustainable Prosperity and Quality Places, a series of very informative reports written and presented by Bruce Katz, keynote speaker at the GrowSmart Maine Summit III, sponsored through The Brookings Institution. These reports were released in 2006, and a recent follow-up, the 2008 Summit, was held on Friday, October 10th, at the Augusta Civic Center. According to their website, GrowSmart Maine is interested in finding out how "Maine can secure dedicated, long-term funding to preserve and enhance its Main Streets, downtowns, working landscapes, and wildlands", as well as, "how Maine’s government systems, structures, and resources need to adapt to become more effective and less expensive for taxpayers."
