    Economic development is really the result of creating a city where people want to live. — Mick Cornett, Oklahoma City mayor Click here to read article, Businessweek, Oct. 18, 2012 »MSNBC interview with Richard Florida, author of The Boom Towns and Ghost Towns of the New Economy
  • The College of Southern Maryland has its largest campus just outside of La Plata, Maryland. As such, we have partnered with the town on several endeavors. Most exciting are the new projects being envisioned that will bring our two entities together in the spirit of a Richard Florida place for the 'Creative Class.'

    -- Bradley M. Gottfried, Ph.D., President, College of Southern Maryland, 2011

    Virtual Adjacency enables us to use broadband communications networks to bring work to people instead of having to use roads to bring people to work. Fiber optic networks deliver the bandwidth to make video conversation ubiquitous, affordable and secure. Four fiber optic networks run through La Plata.  They are not yet being used to their potential.
     
  • The College of Southern Maryland is a public community college that is strongly interested in the regional development and well-being of Maryland, its neighbor states, and the Greater Washington DC metropolitan area."
    --   Dr. Elain Ryan, President, College of Southern Maryland, 2005
  • The proposed development of the Northwest Quadrant continues to be consistent with both national real estate and state and local economic conditions. The College of Southern Maryland is one of the most significant economic development assets in the county, and the opportunity to bring the College and the Town of La Plata together in a mixed-use, pedestrian and bicycle friendly fashion, taking advantage of the four fiber optic networks that run through La Plata along Route 301 is a profoundly smart strategy.

    --  Richard Clinch, Ph.D., Director of Economic Research, The Jacob France Center, Merrick School of Business, University of Baltimore, in letter to La Plata Mayor Roy Hale, August 18, 2011.
