We decided to focus on sustainable logistics as the first industry cluster to pursue because of the high concentration of logistics companies and training programs in our region. Knowing that a sustainable logistics cluster includes a lot of overlap/interconnections with other sectors like advanced manufacturing, cyber/IT, green tech, it made sense to get started on those sectors under the logistics umbrella.
While we face challenges, together, we can work towards solutions that will benefit families and future generations who live, work and grow roots here.
