If you call Northern Virginia, Maryland or DC home, you live in a region of relative opportunity and wealth, how will we grow from here? A collaborative approach to regional planning is a critical step toward improving the quality of life for Washington area residents long in to the future. What common principles can we agree on? What mechanisms exist that will ensure that future development reaches our goals? What should we measure?
