Encouraging development where infrastructure is available, planned or can be provided cost effectively and supporting regional improvements in transportation emerged from the Urban Land Institute’s Reality Check Midlands regional visioning exercise late last year. The Midlands Action Collaborative (RC-MAC), led by key Urban Land Institute South Carolina members, was formed to move the results of the Midlands Reality Check to action. On October 30th, the RC-MAC hosted a dynamic symposium focused on infrastructure and transportation.  This was the first of a series of symposiums on the principles produced by Reality Check.
