Welcome!

Welcome to Twin Cities Tomorrow. This site is dedicated to exploring and presenting a vision for how the Twin Cities region of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota prepares to compete on a world stage. While there are a number of terrific groups exploring basic infrastructure for the metro area and individual cities that do a great job charting their own development, the Twin Cities lacks a compelling vision for how we distinguish ourselves as a region.

To compete, we have to attract and retain the best and the brightest from outside our region while also doing a better job of growing our own talent. To add to the challenge, we need to do all of this under the constraints of immediately challenging economic times with more challenges ahead in the form of an aging population. This demographic shift will require more resources for health care and retirement benefits, putting fiscal pressures on everything else. 

We need to find ways to meet our basic infrastructure needs and stand out while still being friendly to taxpayers. It's a big mission, but with imagination and perseverance, anything is possible!
