The best of Strong Towns from the past week.
Greetings {{ person.firstname | default:
'there' }},
It's the last Friday of February. I hope it's been a great month for you.
Please
join me in welcoming our newest members and thank them for : Wayne Heft,
Sarah Green, Richard Woodward, Libby Anderson, Kelly Wheeler,
James Shirk, and Adam Trott.
Thank you for all you do to build a Strong Town, and to help others along
that
same path.

To grow sustainably, Anchorage (like so many other cities) should adopt a

Enjoy your extra day this weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday. Keep
doing
what you can to make your place stronger.
