Great transportation and infrastructure are critical to growing the Midlands by choice and not by chance as the region works to accommodate an influx of 450,000 new residents over the next 30 years, growing to a population of 1.3 million.

This was the first of three symposiums that will be hosted in the next 18 months, each focused on the three guiding principles that emerged from the 2013 Midlands Realty Check.
