IMAGINE Berks was more than a planning process...
It continues as an opportunity for the community to direct actions to realize our vision of Berks County as a place where all residents and businesses can thrive, entrepreneurship and innovation flourish, and the region’s diversity is celebrated and supported, enabling all Berks County residents to prosper.
Sure, the result of the work was an Economic Development Action Plan, but that was just the first milestone.
From there we are investing time and resources into implementing the plan with our community partners.
This website is an evolving resource to share information about the plan and its goals. We hope that you stay up to date as we implement the strategies — let’s imagine and build a better Berks County.
