A Community
Vibrant
A mix of rural landscapes, picturesque downtowns and growing industry – a profound sense of place and regional identity are hallmarks of the LESMD Region.
The term “vibrant community” in contemporary language might refer to a community that is connected, that retains a sense of place and whose economy is healthy and resilient – in other words, cognizant of cultural heritage, yet mindful of contemporary economic forces. With this in mind it is easy to imagine the comparative advantages and the “vibrancy” of a region boasting the following attributes:
- A centrally located commercial/ manufacturing hub with a river port
- Two universities in the State system, three technical high schools, and an outstanding community college
- Two innovative and rapidly developing medical systems
- A thriving agri-business industry
- A world class ocean resort town on thirty miles of Atlantic coast
- An eager and innovative workforce
- Two major East/West and North/South transportation corridors
- More than one thousand miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline
- Historic riverside hamlets and towns with a rich cultural and architectural tradition
- Large swaths of open space comprised of farms and forest
