This map shows our South East Florida region from a different perspective. It shows a commonality of residency from Martin County through the Keys of all of us who live here between the Atlantic Ocean and the Everglades. It shows connections and linkages to commerce, transportation and neighbors. This site is to give you the reader information and a broader perspective on these issues so that we may become better informed and become better decision makers. It is hoped that those of us who work inside our neighborhoods on issues of housing, education and transportation will be able to “think regionally and act locally” as someone once said. In a world of scarce resources, it is important that we get the picture- the biggest picture that we can in order to utilize our resources as efficiently as possible.
