MDC has had a long and lasting impact in Tacoma and Pierce County, as can be seen in the tweet below. The Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc. later became the Metropolitan Development Council.

On this date in 1968, George W. Johnson, executive director of the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc., spoke at the group's luncheon meeting on the topic of "Human Values in Tacoma." 📷: @tacomalibrary #TacomaHistory
