CANAMEX Trade Corridor
Building Prosperity: An Action Plan for Rural Nevada
CANAMEX
is a joint project of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Montana,
five western states sharing a vision of fast, safe and efficient
trade and transportation for the region. The goal of CANAMEX is
to stimulate economic growth consistent with state and local development
values. CANAMEX includes transportation, commerce and communications
components. The transportation component calls for the development
of a continuous four-land highway from Mexico through the U.S. CANAMEX
states into Canada. Through this commitment to comprehensive multi-state
planning, the CANAMEX region is preparing itself for the growth
challenges of the next century.
A major initiative in
2000 was the development of a comprehensive strategic plan focused
on positioning rural Nevada communities to be competitive in the
21st century. More than 125 Nevadans participated in a series of
regional workshops to develop "Building Prosperity."
The plan incorporates community development, industry retention
and expansion, and business attraction and looks at a broad spectrum
of interrelated issues under the heading of economic diversity,
rural infrastructure, community attributes, leadership capacity
and government responsiveness.
Starting with a mobilization summit in mid-January 2001, priorities
have been assessed by a multidisciplinary team of rural representatives,
and moving from planning to implementation is now underway with
partners throughout Nevada.
