Leaders from the RISE (Rural Indiana Strategy for Excellence) 2020 have announced plans to bring an exciting new economic development approach to Indiana entitled: HomeTown Competitiveness (HTC). Utilizing four of the seven RISE 2020 pillars, this nationally recognized community development strategy helps volunteers focus on:
- Mobilize Local Leaders & Build Community Civic Capacity
- Energize Local Entrepreneurs to Build a Strong Economy
- Capture Wealth Transfer to Raise Development Dollars
- Attract Young People to Strengthen Community Demographics
Created through the collaborative efforts of the Heartland Center for Leadership Development, the Nebraska Community Foundation and the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship, HTC has a proven record of success in helping smaller and more rural communities build significantly stronger and more sustainable development.
YOU ARE INVITED to learn more about this exciting opportunity by participating in the May 31st Rural Forums presented by the Purdue Center for Regional Development and USDA-Rural Development.
