Maryland’s GPI website now has 2010 Data. Maryland has been using the Genuine Progress Indicator to provide better information for policy and budget development for agencies of the State Government. See a good example of how GPI can be implemented and how a website can provide important data to the public. Note also the State Stats button, which leads to dashboards for state agencies.

Sean McQuire who manages the GPI program in Maryland was recently in Vermont discussing how Maryland has implemented alternative indicators. Lew Daly and the Demos Foundation kindly brought Sean to Vermont to share his experience with implementing GPI. The Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont has long expertise in GPI has collaborated with Sean’s work in Maryland. Sean and Lew briefly met with Gund fellows and students.
