The extracted citation reads: “Because of the specific challenges and inter-dependencies facing individual regions and the broad range and diversity of public- and private-sector partners and NGOs, regional efforts are often complex. Examples of regional partnerships formed to consider regional issues range from the Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) partnership, whose working groups look at such issues as border security, agriculture and energy, to regional partnerships that focus primarily on a single infrastructure sector, such as the Multi-state partnership for Security in Agriculture.”
To say that regional issues are complex is to understate the issue. However, I believe that everyone working together can find solutions that can work in a cross-jurisdictional and multidiscipline manner.
