For rural communities to compete in our fast changing world, they must adopt new and focused economic development strategies. Successful rural communities are those which identify, take stock of and access economic opportunities and then find unique ways to build upon what they already have.
Not only do resilient communities use their existing assets, they also look for new and efficient ways to produce and then market products or services to new customers – and nowadays they look to new global markets as well as local ones.
Our Community Futures plays a key role in working alongside other local and regional community leaders for the development of a sustainable future vision. If you would like to apply for up to $2500.00 for funding toward a project click here.
