The Center’s work takes long-term commitment and persistence. In addition to bringing resources and expertise, we build durable partnerships and local capacity to ensure genuine community leadership on projects.
Center staff help communities and partners develop proposals that secure grant funds from public agencies and foundations to support important community projects.
In Lancaster NH, Tupper Lake NY and Millinocket Maine, the Center is leading communities to create and implement major planning initiatives for their downtowns.
The Center designed and facilitated the 2020 Adirondack Common Ground Alliance Forum, where nearly 200 people discussed strategies for attracting new residents to the Adirondack Park.
