BC Vision is an economic development initiative focused on jobs, talent development, and a culture of vitality—and has a transformative vision that Battle Creek becomes a thriving community for people in which there is equitable opportunity for all residents to be successful. PPA supports the initiative along with our partner Western Michigan University with research and technical assistance to establish, track, and document appropriate metrics and indicators of progress. PPA supports local action teams addressing kindergarten readiness, college and career readiness, workforce development, and business. The initiative is led by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Kellogg Company, and local leadership and residents.
