In 2003, this report found that the economic future of a major rust belt state depended upon revitalizing its demographic mix and curbing some of the nation's most radical patterns of sprawl and abandonment.

Above all, the study revealed that Pennsylvania's highly decentralized growth patterns were weakening the state's established communities, undercutting the very places whose assets the state needs to compete in the knowledge economy. This year, 2010 is a seminal year for our State, the mid-term elections will potentially shuffle the power centers in Washington and Harrisburg, there is a race for Governor and many competitive races in the State.
As well, this is a national census year, which could see Pennsylvania losing Congressional seats and there could be political shifts in Harrisburg as well.
Over the next few weeks and months, we will be exploring the seminal report, issued by the Brookkings Institution, which examined the State of our State and offered many bold recommendations. We will be revisiting these assumptions and seeing how we did and where we stand.
