[ EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 2011-03 ]

Public Private Partnership

May 3, 2011

 Whereas, Pennsylvania has dramatically low national rankings in areas of key economic indicators, such as job creation, population growth, new business start-ups, patent creation and the average educational attainment for its workforce; and

 Whereas, the commonwealth's economic development goals include developing an innovation-driven economy, ensuring that all Pennsylvania's children can achieve their full potential through access to a first-class education, increasing wealth-generating job opportunities for all citizens, encouraging small business growth, significantly reducing the burdens government places on businesses and citizens, expanding Pennsylvania-based business export opportunities, and harnessing Pennsylvania's energy potential; and

 Whereas, successful economic development must be sustainable, contribute lasting economic benefits, provide a solid education that prepares students to compete in a global economy, and evaluate workforce and education options and opportunities in order to ensure an improved quality of life for Pennsylvania's people and communities; and

 Whereas, commonwealth taxpayers for too long have been unduly burdened with, and relied upon for, sustaining Pennsylvania's many levels of state and local governments; and

 Whereas, merely improving government policies and programs is insufficient to surmount the significant economic challenges facing the commonwealth; and

 Whereas, the use of a public private partnership to bring business, government, community, and education leaders together is essential to accomplishing these goals; and

 Whereas, Pennsylvania is fortunate in having an abundance of world-class private sector resources and leaders who desire to better their communities and the commonwealth; and

 Whereas, Team Pennsylvania Foundation is a dynamic resource for Pennsylvania, created as a nonprofit corporation incorporated in 1997, under 15 Pa.C.S. Subpart C (relating to Nonprofit Corporation Law of 1988), in order to assist the commonwealth in increasing job growth, retention and creation within Pennsylvania.

 Now, Therefore, I, Tom Corbett, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other laws, do hereby recognize, affirm and celebrate the economic development partnership between the commonwealth and the Team Pennsylvania Foundation.
