Organizers of a regional visioning initiative are hoping the 4.2 million residents of 32 counties in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia will circle Tuesday on their calendars.

That is the date Power of 32, named for the counties, hopes to hold meetings in all 32 counties to engage residents in community conversations.

"We want to look at year 2025 and imagine a successful, thriving region. What would we have done in 2010 to have a successful region in 2025? What actions, policies, decisions should we make now to be successful in 2025?" said Alex Graziani, the project’s outreach coordinator for Westmoreland County, where two such conversations have already been held.

Local counties in Power of 32 are: Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Blair, Butler, Cambria, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Mercer, Somerset, Washington, and Westmoreland.
