Last week, we joined in celebrating the life of Saint Paul's longest-serving mayor, George Latimer. Like many people in Saint Paul, we are inspired by Mayor Latimer’s legacy and especially proud of his commitment to downtown Saint Paul, which included securing a $10 million grant from the McKnight Foundation in 1978 to revitalize Lowertown. Mayor Latimer’s body of work is a reminder that bold action is what takes us forward — and we’re honored to build on his accomplishments by partnering with a great set of leaders from the public and private sector to write the next chapter in Saint Paul’s story.

New Orleans has installed a historic marker under the Claiborne overpass to honor a once-thriving Black business district displaced by Interstate 10 construction. From the 1830s to the 1970s, Claiborne Avenue was a vibrant hub of Black-owned businesses, fostering community and culture until its destruction for highway development. The marker, unveiled with a celebratory second line, serves as a tribute to the area’s entrepreneurial legacy and a reminder of its resilience. https://lnkd.in/gdwv-TfB

This is why building and strengthening Community Capacity should be at the forefront of economic development.
Erie, Pennsylvania-Session 6 of the ARC Leadership Institute was incredible. Building Community Capacity was our session focus. Imagine for a moment your town with no social infrastructure. No schools, no churches, no recreation, no parks, no grocery stores, no restaurants, no Main Street or small businesses, no museums, no libraries, no places where people gather socially and interact. Would you want to live there without those things? Now think, are you a community member that makes investments in those entities whether through spending your hard earned money there, collaboration in community service, volunteerism, philanthropy, or just being a good, active citizen? Building and Sustaining Community Capacity is HARD WORK! Thankful for another week of collaborating with world changers across the 13 Appalachian States. These people are amazing human beings, doing amazing work in their states. Though our year together is coming to an end, the impact this group will make across Appalachia is just beginning!
