Episode #41. The People: A Community's Most Important Resource
Manage episode 308545994 series 3014976
his episode of The Growth and Resilience Network® podcast channel focuses on the power of resources for community building and sustainability. If you look for the best resource in a community, look to the people. A community is more than bricks, mortar, stores, streets, and parks. Those, to be sure are important resources…but it’s the people who remain the biggest asset.
Celebration, Florida is a community that understands that premise. You will hear from Gloria Niec the executive director of the Celebration Foundation; Mary Pat Rosenthal, their program manager; and Eileen Crawford, a foundation board member. In particular they will educate us about one of their signature programs: Thriving In Place. You can read more about all of this in my July 22, 2018 blog post at www.thegrowthandresiliencenetwork.net. They, also, will be featured in my forthcoming book on community building and sustainability. Thriving In Place proves a home is more than the sum of its architectural codes, zoning requirements, and pedestrian friendly streets. Home is a feeling of comfort, peace, and community.
