Marketing Hometown America 2017

Is your community ready to explore its potential to attract new residents? What makes your community unique, healthy, and alive? What more could you do to build the kind of community that is welcoming, attractive, and comfortable? Marketing Hometown America empowers communities to create a vision to grow. Designed as a tool to create dialogue that moves toward action, it can be the spark to help a rural community look at itself in a new way. Your community may already be working on attracting new residents. But to grow, more people need to be part of that effort. Marketing Hometown America engages communities through small groups called Study Circles to get more people involved and more voices heard. https://igrow.org/community-development/communities/marketing-hometown-america/ This is collaborative project of these partners: University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, South Dakota State University Extension, North Dakota State University Extension with support from Rural Futures Institute, United States Department of Agriculture and National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
