Public-private partnerships work best when all parties involved – city officials, ratepayers, public employees and service providers – are committed to adapting to community needs and developing win-win solutions. Every project contains a common ground on which a successful alliance can be based. Private business must be willing to become part of the community, sharing its vision for a better life without running roughshod over the lives affected by the implementation of that vision.
The City of Litchfield and EMC have found that common ground and formed a win-win partnership. The City/EMC partnership began in February of 1996 and continues to grow with each passing year.
