Public Policy Project focuses on economic development through social and physical infrastructure development in government and in the private sector, smart growth, local and state fiscal accountability, stewardship of our natural resources and educational achievement. Our members place a high value on the use of the consensus building process to develop innovative proposals. The project also actively engages in the public policy process to ensure that California leads the industrialized world in achieving greater prosperity while ensuring the fair treatment of all peoples and protecting the environment.
