Acknowledgments
A program as broad and complex as the Sustainable Communities Initiative cannot be accomplished without the direct
collaboration and support of many partners, organizations and individuals. SCI has benefited from the participation of
many individuals and groups through the Executive Committee, the Metro Vision Planning Advisory Committee and the
Corridor Working Groups in the East, Gold and Northwest corridors. Additionally, residents, business people and other
stakeholders from the corridors and throughout the region have provided their thoughtful input through the Citizens
Advisory Committee and Corridor Stakeholder Committees. Finally, numerous partners supported the corridor planning
efforts and stakeholder engagement processes.
