Strongest Town: Strong Towns Members Weigh in on the Finalists (Webcast)

It’s Championship Week, and we’re back with our third and final webcast.

On Monday, Strong Towns president Chuck Marohn interviewed the two mayors of our amazing Strongest Town finalist cities: Lockport, Illinois and Oxford, Mississippi.

On Tuesday, Strong Towns staffers Rachel Quednau and Alexa Mendieta caught up with three previous winners—Carlisle, Pennsylvania; Traverse City, Michigan; and Pensacola, Florida—and got their impressions of this year’s final matchup.

Today, Chuck is back, along with content manager John Pattison, talking with two Strong Towns members about their thoughts on the finalists. Remember, we rely on our members to help find the truly strongest towns and cities; member votes are weighted toward 50% of the total. Here’s who Chuck and John will be chatting with in the webcast:
