Annually the region prioritizes regionally significant infrastructure projects. Prioritization is designed to: inventory and prioritize economic development needs and regional issues; develop regional consensus on high priorities; and develop a tool to promote high priority projects or issues to state and federal funders. Updated priorities were approved in March 2025.
