<br />?. The strength of the partnership will be its ability to draw on the experience, knowledge and creativity of the partners to develop
<br />and guide responses to the Triangle's development and infrastructure challenges. Here are six examples of specific activities
<br />on which the partners could focus. But step #1 will be to engage the partners in what they think are the most valuable uses of
<br />the partnership's time, talents and resources.
<br />Neutral Ground
<br />provide a clear way for partners to raise concerns about de-
<br />velopment and infrastructure issues or projects that affect
<br />more than one institution, whether a community, university,
<br />state agency, regional organization, etc. Design a process to
<br />share information about the issue or project and to communi-
<br />cate concerns. If warranted, provide guidance to interested
<br />partners on how they can work together to resolve an issue.
<br />How it might work: Model the program on Developments
<br />of Regional Impact programs used elsewhere.

<br />Triangle Infrastructure Finance Center
<br />Develop and maintain an information resource on costs and
<br />financing mechanisms for all types of major infrastructure.
<br />Establish relationships with related organizations like the
<br />Environmental Finance Center at the School of Government
<br />How it might work: Establish a structured process to track
<br />infrastructure projects in the region, the sources and uses of
<br />their funds, and the mechanisms used to finance them. Col-
<br />lect and synthesize information on infrastructure finance and
<br />conduct panels on finance topics of interest.
<br />Infrastructure Blueprint
<br />Develop, publish and continually update an inventory of ex-
<br />a isting and planned public infrastructure investments that de-
<br />AT
<br />lmeates not only where and when planned investments will
<br />1 be made, but helps communities understand their role in the
<br />regional picture and provides critical information for private
<br />firms considering investment in the region.
<br />How it might work: Work with the partners to develop the
<br />overall framework for the blueprint based on examples from
<br />other regions, then build it element by element.

<br />Key Opportunities
<br />s Identify and develop or support plans for key opportunities
<br />i in the region: areas or issues of critical regional importance
<br />or shared responsibility.
<br />How it might work: Work with the partners to develop a
<br />process to identify key regional-scale opportunities, and
<br />techniques to either develop plans for these opportunities or
<br />? to support others in doing so.

<br />Joint Project Planning
<br />Provide a user-friendly, one stop shop for independent infor-
<br />mation, standards and benchmarks on complex and contro-
<br />versial regional development and infrastructure issues.
<br />How it might work: Work with the partners to identify the
<br />most critical information needs, then use existing research,
<br />peer reviews and regional data sources to address selected
<br />topics each year.

<br />;:. Provide guidance and tools for institutions to use in working
<br />4c•
<br />'i together on potential projects of mutual benefit, including
<br />the joint siting or use of infrastructure (e.g. combining a city
<br />t, park with a county library and a school).
<br />:.1
<br />How it might work: Develop a central repository of exam-
<br />pies within the region and nationwide, administrative
<br />M mechanisms that have been developed, and processes used
<br />for the early identification of candidate projects.
