Development patterns of the last 20 years have resulted in the spreading of residential, commercial, and office development over a wide auto-dependant area of southwestern Pennsylvania. The most significant consequence of this trend is to largely separate where people live and where people work. In an era of rising fuel costs, this produces a dilemma for both employers and employees.
The Road to Excellence Conference is an annual event focused on intergovernmental cooperation and regional issues. This year's conference, sponsored by Comcast and in partnership with Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board, will focus on access to employment, multi-municipal planning, developments of regional impact and tools currently available that expand inter-municipal coordination.
