A new Web site from Wilder Foundation provides useful data and analysis for anyone interested in our region. The goal of the Twin Cities Compass project is “to provide unbiased, credible information about how our region is faring: to alert policy-makers, community leaders and the public to significant trends; to promote coordinated efforts to address them; and to measure and communicate progress." Areas of coverage include: civic engagement, early childhood, economy and workforce, education, health, housing, public safety and transportation.
Under each topic there is a brief overview, description of major trends and a growing data bank with links to local programs and to research-based strategies for dealing with the subject. www.tccompass.org
