Hello, John.

 

Five years now, certain communities will stand out as the towns and cities that emerged strongest from the pandemic. And everyone will know the names of the local leaders who responded to the crisis with courage, wisdom, and vision.

 

Whether you work in city government or volunteer in your community, you've got what it takes to be one of those leaders.

 

Next week, we're going to send you the playbook for how to get through the crisis we face — "The Local Leader's Toolkit: A Strong Towns Response to the Pandemic." 

 

To compliment this comprehensive guide, we will also host a free web broadcast on Tuesday, May 19 at noon Central. During the session, Strong Towns Founder Chuck Marohn will lay out short-, medium-, and long-term strategies for bringing your place into recovery, providing specific recommendations related to housing, transportation, public spaces, development, and more.

 

Register for the broadcast here, or learn more here.

 

You can also register for a follow-up Ask Me Anything webcast with Chuck on Thursday, May 21 at noon Central.

 

We know you're about to do some great things.

 

Stay well, 

 

– Lauren at Strong Towns
