June 18, 2015 Strong Towns

Join these members and hundreds of others across the country in advocating for stronger cities, towns and neighborhoods.

Some good friends at the Strong Towns National Gathering helping to shape the movement.

Jeremy Murdock, Mississippi State, kicking off a week of Curbside Chats across the state.

We're starting to have what Strong Towns calls the "mature conversation" about what we can realistically afford, whether or not we can depend on state or county subsidies, and whether we can have a sufficient local tax base to support our desire for lots of government-provided amenities. A group of residents is launching an independent economic development forum and our city has budgeted for economic development for the first time. We've started emphasizing better bike lanes, sidewalks, and crosswalks to help rebuild attractive streetscapes. It's just a start, but we think we're headed in the right direction after a long period of drift and stagnation. The moral support and analysis from Strongs Towns, as well as learning from the experiences of other places highlighted here, have been very helpful.
