Madison, Wis. - Prosperity and a high quality of life in a globally competitive environment are the goals of a group planning for the future of Wisconsin's eight-county Madison Region.
Andy Lewis, University of Wisconsin-Extension community development specialist and Matt Kures, UW-Extension geographic information specialist, were invited to be part of the Collaboration Council Assets and Opportunities Work Team that was instrumental in forming Thrive.
"UW-Extension staff has been enormously effective in helping Thrive and our regional partners assemble and communicate data on the eight-county Capital Region's assets and opportunities," says Jennifer Alexander, Thrive president.
