From the beginning of the Center’s community revitalization work, Lancaster, NH stood out as a place where concentrated investment would go a long way.
The Center and partner communities are taking action to attract and retain young people and entrepreneurs to the region. The first step is to ensure that towns have the infrastructure and amenities to compete with other locations.
The Center program staff frequently support local fundraising efforts as one of the many ways we both bring and build capacity in the communities where we work.
When the Center works with a community, we make sure that any planning activities are strategic, specific, and will have a visible impact on the community.
The Adirondack Community Recreation Alliance seeks to leverage recreation assets and the region’s recreation-rich culture to secure long-lasting community and economic benefits for Adirondack towns and villages.
100 Katahdin Avenue, a recently renovated 3-unit building in Millinocket, Maine, is a prime example of the Center’s impact investment fund and work. It is providing quality, affordable housing for people seeking to create community and providing investors up to 2% returns.
