In Atlanta Journal-Constitution, City of Clarkston, GA., Mayor Beverly Burks shares how?working with Local Infrastructure Hub helped her city secure federal funding?for?vital road safety improvements: ? “It’s gratifying to see public, private and non-profit sectors work together to help localities such as City of Clarkston, GA make vital infrastructure improvements, starting with safer streets. Without question, better designed and better constructed roads and sidewalks will save people’s lives.? ? Towns such as Clarkston will always have challenges, and they will never have all the resources and tools we wish we had and that our residents deserve. But we’re finding help from innovative sources, and it is making all the difference. I urge my fellow mayors to do the same.”? ? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/evGaKh_C

There are more than a few reasons why life here in Los Angeles is grand but one of them is the inspiration I get from the small but mighty non-profits that continue to make our city better. One is Public Matters, founded by Mike Blockstein and Reanne Estrada. If you want a break from the news cycle, have a look at this article titled "Conspiratorial Joy Lives Here."

This really fines me hope for the future. Is it replicable? I have hope for that. What lessons were learned? People seem genuinely proud and happy in this picture. Can we get more of that? In defense of saving them but also to reinforce a process that includes the people — not THEIR people — in the decision-making and research process. Objective, third-party analysis on all the impacts. To all the people who care profoundly about their communities. Do you think we can model for a New and Improved Chicago Way? We really need it. For ALL the people. Help us, Brandon Johnson , you are one of many hopes. We just hope you can get on board. Reaching agreement is not easy when all kinds of groups within one community haven’t talked in years or decades. And we are well-trained to respond to fear and desperation messages. We get those from enough source. And we are well-trained to give up when money and power — and only money and power talk. That’s messed up.

Housing is a right.

?This study looks at one commonly used fundraising strategy, tiered giving. In this research, Division I FBS development personnel were surveyed to explore the current perception of tiered giving efforts and best practices that could help Division II athletic departments improve strategies for structuring tiered giving strategies.

Recast City Big shout out to Ilana Preus at Recast City, giving it her all to help change the way community economic development happens! Her newsletter below Feb 13, 2024, 2:18?PM (19 hours ago) February is flying through - I feel like everyone I know is having a hard time catching their breath right now. I hope it's mostly good things for you - even if the pace is a bit crazy - and that it all smooths out as we jump through Leap Day. Harp Vision ?in Lexington Market, Baltimore, MD - a creative team in a creative place All is well, here at Recast City. 2024 will be exciting with our national Recast Leaders cohort launching (next week!) with an amazing group of six communities, our work with the U.S. EDA & ILSR to improve access to the revolving loan fund for Native-owned businesses, and the new Recast Leaders sponsored cohorts coming soon after. I'll be speaking at the?Main Street Now?conference in Birmingham, AL this spring - one session all about who owns the storefronts, and another one about how we keep building the civic infrastructure of getting STUFF DONE.? You know - my favorite topics. And I still have some time on my calendar available for fall keynotes and trainings. Reach out and?schedule a time for us to talk?about your event or recommend me to your friends and colleagues! It takes a creative village to change the way we do economic and community development - and I appreciate being in that village with you. Speaking of the creative village - have you seen some of the recent articles fanning the flames of this work?! Pieces simply pointing out that what worked in the past is just not going to cut it anymore. People like?Nina Roberts at the New York Times?writing about small-scale manufacturing in storefronts (!!!) as the next thing we all need in these expensive markets. And yes, these businesses are key to the cooler markets too - but someone else will have to write that piece. Anyway, I hope you are finding creative inspiration for your work from many places. You know I'm routing for you too. Take care of yourself, ILANA ILANA PREUSS Founder & CEO Recast City
