GOAL 4: Increase Regional Cooperation and Efficiency at All Levels The Steering Committee and public discussions point to the need to continue building on an already productive regional framework.

They demonstrate a mix of efficiencies, expanded services, and resilience stemming from these broad-based, thoughtful efforts to cross the boundaries of seventeen communities and four counties to embrace a regional view.
