Every community engages in development. The prosperity and vibrancy of a community is about strategic development. Strategic development is focused on a community’s willingness to work on their long-term future prosperity. The goal is to build a trusting long-term relationship among community leaders and collectively seek to ensure a stronger community a generation from now.
University of Nebraska Extension Prosperity Community focuses on people (demographic renewal), Place (Quality of Live Placemaking) and Prosperity (Increased Economic Opportunity). The program leaders work with communities in developing a generational strategic development vision and game plan.
This webinar will offer communities and their leaders a variety of engagement opportunities to help them understand their needs and aspirations, and how community leaders can build a future that attracts and retains residents. The presenters will describe their work and experience with communities and other resource providers. The session takeaway for participants will be better ways to engage community residents and stakeholders in building vibrant futures.
