Expand meaningful access to community College.  Continue and strengthen successful approaches to workforce development.  Repeal ineffective tax limitations. And when preparing for climate change, be prepared for the worst.  These are just several of the policy recommendations outlined in Sustaining Strong Communities: On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, a report published by the Maryland Center on Economic Policy (MDCEP).  MDCEP is a non-profit, non-partisan organization founded with a mission to “advance innovative policy ideas to foster broad prosperity and help our state be the standard-bearer for responsible public policy.”
