No matter how far back our memories reach, this year has been unlike any other – one marked by challenges, transformation, and resiliency. History is punctuated by great trials that test the human spirit in its ability to respond by contorting and pivoting in every direction possible. This year brought its share of heartaches, economic distress, and general chaos. Yet we are persevering – by finding our inner strengths and moral fortitude which were demonstrated through acts of kindness to neighbors and strangers, creative ways to connect with people safely, and resolute efforts to help local small businesses survive.
It is MVPC’s privilege to work with local municipalities, organizations, residents, businesses, and other partners on issues related to the environment, transportation, housing, economic development, health, and more. The MVPC 2020 Annual Report shares some of our successes over the past year. As we look forward, we relish the opportunity to take on new challenges.
