A strong education system is a critical part of building a strong community. In fact, it’s the foundation for almost everything that will happen in the future.
When we do a good job teaching the children in our community, we are training tomorrow’s workforce. A well-educated workforce is good for local businesses. Many studies show that that well-educated workers are more likely to be productive, high-performing, law abiding, and healthy.
Well-educated communities attract investment. Businesses looking to set up shop or relocate favor communities with high graduation rates. A strong education system creates upward social mobility.
Children who want to go to college or enter the workforce will be prepared to succeed. A whole community of well-educated, thriving citizens attracts development and good jobs, which in turn attracts more educated, thriving citizens. Community Development and Engagement These are initiatives that enhance quality of place, engaging residents, and visitors.
Examples include, but are not limited to, projects supporting: Arts and cultural activities Why Community Development and Engagement? Engaging people to love where they live creates long-term economic and social benefits for the entire community. Quality-of-place is essential for economic growth and community prosperity.
