Washington in the Making 2040

Washington in the Making 2040 is a comprehensive 15-year vision rooted in values and aspirations for our collective economic future. That vision includes a world-class workforce, a business environment that fosters growth, infrastructure and connectivity that supports all Washingtonians, and exceptional quality of life in every community.

Presented by the Association of Washington Business Institute and the Washington Roundtable, this initiative led an extensive community engagement process, hosting 22 townhall meetings in partnership with local chambers of commerce and community organizations as well as a large-scale survey of Washington residents. More than 4,200 individuals provided input for the plan.
