Thriving Rural Communities: Regional Action Planning

What: Using the Thrive Rural Framework as a guide, the Northland Foundation partnered with the Northspan Group more than a year ago to take a new approach to regional development. We engaged in deep research, developed a robust report, and hosted listening meetings regionally. Out of this process, seven areas for action emerged (read more HERE and HERE). Now we are ready to start moving forward.

Who: Local and regional elected/appointed leaders, economic development and financing professionals, housing organizations, business and community leaders, and anyone curious and eager to get involved

Action Planning Sessions will explore:

• what’s happening and what’s missing in your community,
• who is working in that space now,
• who is not part of the conversation but should be, and
• where to go from here.
