Building a Vibrant Community
A vibrant community is a place where young people can stay home after college and still fulfill their potential, a place that attracts talent and private investments, a place where strong tax base leads to financial health. A place that’s safe and clean with a great education system. I hope that you will join us in building a vibrant community!
The curriculum “Building a Vibrant Community” is a blueprint we can use to create meaningful change and spur community revitalization. This 6 week study will generate ideas and action plans to make Hardee County more vibrant.
