Upwards of a hundred private, public and nonprofit leaders convened at the Federal Reserve in Los Angeles on the feasibility of building a reliable neighborhood based data warehouse for measuring and improving Los Angeles communities. Following a presentation on the Urban Institute's National Neighborhood Indicators Project, a response panel discussed with participants the merits and challenges. Additional discussion will ensue by interested health, education, community and economic development, government, financial services, and philanthropy sector participants as they attempt to cut across policy "silos" to cooperatively design a local project.
