In our constantly changing environment, I believe it is more critical than ever that municipalities partner with one another. We will need to work together regionally to address a host of issues including: economic development, water/sewer services, legislative needs, and more. By large cities working together with smaller cities, we can all benefit. In addition, by working together to move a coordinated approach to legislative agendas, we all can have equal influence in Raleigh.
