Strength in numbers. When we work together, we're stronger. Better. Compacts are formal, voluntary agreements between YorkCounts and one or more organizations that work to implement one of the 30 Ready Solutions identified in the YorkCounts Action Plan. Criteria used to evaluate the merit of each compact include:
  • The proposed initiative directly advances a well-defined ready solution.
  • The proposed initiative may directly impact current systems of operation or governance.
  • The lead organization will ensure the original intent of the action team recommendation through implementation.


County Health Department
Healthy York County Coalition
In June 2004, the HYCC formed a compact with YorkCounts and took the lead in moving forward the effort of establishing a public health department for York County.


CEDS
York Co. Economic Development Corp.
Following the February 2004 release of the YorkCounts Action Plan and the related Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy report, the YCEDC assumed the leadership role for implementing the recommendations offered in that report.


 County Human Relations Commission
York County Community Against Racism
A YorkCounts action team recommended the establishment of a York County Human Relations Commission as a means of responsibly contemplating past community difficulties, addressing race-based friction progressively and ensuring that every York County resident has access to timely consideration of complaints concerning equal employment, housing, and public accommodation.


Education Summit
Penn State York
The YorkCounts action team that put forth a recommendation to hold a countywide education summit viewed the event as an opportunity to engage stakeholders in collaborating for continuous performance improvement and more equitable access to quality education.
