WITF\/ Harrisburg<\/em><\/a> — A dialogue is under way that could lead to a “Blueprint for Prosperity” for Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The concept, which has been put to use in other cities across the country, involves engaging so-called “anchor institutions” in economic revitalization efforts.\"PennImage123\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The idea is to gather a diverse set of community leaders and help them identify areas — like education, job creation and health care — where they can work together for improvement.<\/p>\n

WITF public television in Pennsylvania<\/a> — as a part of Blueprint America<\/em> — plays host to the first conversation on revitalizing the center region of the state.<\/p>\n

Panelists include Harrisburg University President Dr. Mel Schiavelli, Jacksonville Florida’s Blueprint for Prosperity original manager Dr. Jarik Conrad, and CEOs for Cities President Carol Coletta.<\/p>\n
