We developed a set of interdependent environmental, social, and economic goals to express that vision. We also developed a set of specific measures of progress for each of the goals. We have tested these goals with the residents of the Tri-Valley through a public opinion poll. And, we have convened a set of committees to design and implement actions that will move the region toward the positive and achievable vision of the future."
