Community Readiness InitiativeWhat others say:“In the knowledge-driven, computer-networked economy of the future, what matters most is being a place where people want to live: a place with great public schools, clean air and water, wonderful recreational opportunities, low crime rates, and a common bond of community pride and unity. These places, the places where people want to live, will also be the places where companies want to locate.”
– Gary LockeU.S. Ambassador to China; former U.S. Secretary of Commerce; former Governor, State of Washington
