Just because there is state, federal, and Wall Street money doesn't make it

a

good project.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

‌Greetings this Monday, {{ person.firstname | default: 'there' }}.







We all want our roads, streets, and sidewalks maintained. So, why is it so

difficult?







Better yet: Why are we building more and more roads when our cities don't

have the money to take care of what we've already built?







These are questions I struggled with as an engineer. While there are all

kinds

of places to find money to build new stuff, there are few funds for basic

maintenance . So guess where we focus our energy?















Every city has the resources needed to be successful. Tell someone you know

that

we can build a prosperous place, and avoid the cycle of decline , by

following a Strong Towns approach.







Thank you for all you do to make your community stronger. Keep going!
