<br />Foreword
<br />The Research Triangle Region has a long tradition of growth and
<br />change, as its research universities and technologically
<br />sophisticated businesses have served markets and attracted
<br />people from across the United States and around the world.
<br />From the city cores of Raleigh and Durham to small towns and
<br />rural areas throughout the region, the communities that make
<br />up the Research Triangle have a common goal of seeing that all
<br />its people have pathways to success.
<br />Over the past two years, both the Triangle J Council of
<br />Governments and the Kerr -Tar Council of Governments — the
<br />regional councils serving the greater Triangle region — have
<br />worked with diverse groups of stakeholders to identify and
<br />prioritize strategies we can pursue to sustain the region's
<br />prosperity and address its economic challenges. These
<br />Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) are
<br />blueprints for cooperative action to improve economic
<br />outcomes for all of our citizens.
<br />For these strategies to succeed, we know we need to prepare
<br />for the region we will be, not the region we are today. That is
<br />why we partnered with PolicyLink and the USC Program for
<br />Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE) to produce this
<br />Equitable Growth Profile. It provides an excellent evidence -
<br />based foundation for understanding the challenges and
<br />opportunities of our region's shifting demographics. It can help
<br />our region's diverse communities focus on the resources and
<br />opportunities they need to participate and prosper. We hope
<br />that this profile is widely used by business, government,
<br />academic, philanthropic and civic leaders working to create a
<br />stronger, more engaged, and more resilient region.
