Testing Our Hypotheses on Equitable Development

This report highlights the midpoint conclusions from the SPARCC organization’s approach to regional development through context, opportunity, and outcomes. The hypothesis and means by which SPARCC operated examined equitable development through integrated “lenses”, equitable outcomes based on community power and vision, cross-sector leadership at regional levels to inspire change, and flexible financing. The report looks at their outcomes as of early 2019 on the pathway to the organization completing these goals and studies within their six regions.
