I would wager I am one of few or possibly the only person blogging about the Brookings Institution and Greater Ohio’s movement building event. They hosted the Restoring our Prosperity Policy Summit yesterday (Sept 10, 2008) in Columbus. I think it would be unfortunate if I were to be the only person to blog about this event. The event is important for the following reasons:
- Attendee estimates were at 1000. For a smart growth summit in Columbus Ohio this is tremendous. 1000 people are concerned about developing Ohio’s core urban regions. Truly tremendous.

- Brookings partnered with Greater Ohio to not only bring all these folks together but to also put forward a smart growth plan they call “Restoring Prosperity”.
