In this presentation, Strong Towns board member John Reuter will demonstrate how to take less risk and grow financially stronger, all while directly serving the people already living and working in your town.

John will cover the Neighborhoods First approach to show how a community can grow stronger by making small, incremental investments over time. By observing how neighbors live their lives, by asking them where their daily struggles are, by getting out on the street and discovering what is actually going on, any resident or local government can discern what their community’s pressing needs are. These projects are the high return investments and they are all around us.
