The West Michigan Strategic Alliance describes itself on Guidestar.org as being launched in June 2000 as "a collaborative effort by governmental units, businesses, institutions and private citizens to create a common regional vision for the next 25 years." As of 2025, the website https://wm-alliance.org/ was no longer used by the non-profit alliance. The data-heavy book describes the 2002 economic context of the West Michigan Metro Tri-plex on the global, continental, super-regional, West Michigan regional and Metro Tri-plex scale, describes Tri-plex "essential activities" (environment, economic development, tourism, arts/history, education/research, health/human services, land use/urbanization/demographics, transportation/logistics, infrastructure, governance) and concludes with priorities for regional collaboration.
