Shawnee County Progress Report
The 2009 Shawnee County Progress Report is in lieu of the Community
Resources Council’s Trends and Indicators. The Report is structured around
the six foundations from the Heartland Visioning Strategic Plan, minus
Private Leadership which is still being developed and will be reported on in
the future.
The foundations will be measured using indicators identifi ed as important
by Shawnee County residents including elected offi cials, public and private
companies and non-profi t agencies.
The purpose of The Report is to provide useful information to measure
our life in Shawnee County. The Report provides information to businesses,
governments and other organizations to assess the condition of our
community. This information is intended to be used by anyone wanting
to plan for the future. Overall, The Report serves as a progress report to
ourselves: identifying areas where we in Shawnee County excel, as well as
areas where we have challenges and want to improve.
The Report was produced through Community Resources Council of
Shawnee County with the aid of sponsors including Shawnee County,
Kansas, The City of Topeka, United Way of Greater Topeka, Heartland
Visioning, Greater Topeka Chamber and Go Topeka, Stormont-Vail
Health Care, WIBW-TV, Westar Energy, Topeka Community Foundation,
Parrish Hotel Corporation, Anderson Montgomery, LLC, Capitol Federal
Foundation, and Peterson Publications Incorporated. The Report is offered
both in hard copy and on the web at crcnet.org.
