An Engaged University…
Co-Creating Collaborative Partners
The Prima Civitas Foundation (PCF): A non-profit
foundation created in 2006
•
Partnering with four year universities, community colleges,
intermediate school districts, local economic development
groups, workforce development agencies, and other local and
regional partners, PCF seeks to bring about foundational change
to the culture of Michigan’s economy, while at the same time
stimulate activity for job creation and retention.
•
Using its vast network at the local level, PCF leverages
significant opportunities through relationships with state and
national leaders to bring new and innovative approaches to
Michigan’s economic revitalization
Lansing Area Economic Partnerships (LEAP)
MSU-LEAP Community Builders
Six Initiatives
1. Leadership
2. Value-added enterprise
Initiated by Leap, Inc. and the Prima Civitas
Foundation, the MSU Community Builders
program recognizes businesses and
organizations that are working with Michigan
State University to advance economic
development and quality of life in the MidMichigan region.
3. New enterprise
4. MSU integration
5. Global community
6. Emerging talent
Since the launch of the program in September
2008, 74 companies, agencies, and
organizations have been recognized as MSU
Community Builders. These organizations
were selected in recognition of their sustained
and active engagement with MSU. These
engagements have resulted in broad and
enduring positive community impacts.

Greater Lansing Next Plan
•
Greater Lansing Next Plan is an example of a
Regional Strategic Growth Plan (2009).
•
•
MSU Land Policy Institute helped prepare this plan.
There are less than ten strategies that are the focus of
the Plan.
•
Future investments should be concentrated on those
strategies.
•
Key is for the local governments, business and nonprofit organization stakeholders to commit to putting
the economic interests of the region first, and then
to work collaboratively and cooperatively to plan and
then implement the Plan.

Regional Economic Development
• Regions are the fundamental
geography for economic
development in the global New
Economy.
• Economic development planning at
the regional level in Michigan is
done through the 14 State Planning
& Development Regions, that also
do transportation and other regional
planning. www.miregions.org
• These are the political regions
recognized by the state and federal
government and are created locally.

“Critical thinking and analytic skills need to be accompanied by the abilities to detect patterns,
to combine seemingly unrelated ideas to find new ways to solve problems, to develop
compelling narratives to express ideas, and to understand the nuances of human desires
and fears. These abilities are fostered by the arts and by art museums, powerful cultural
institutions that show how artistic expression has mirrored and shaped contemporary
experience.”
