Oxford, NC: A Botton Up Revolution To Rebuild American Prosperity

Sep 10
5:00 pm
Orange Street Community Center, 125 Orange Street, Oxford, NC, 27565, United States

A first in a series of community discussions hosted by OxForward, co-hosted by Strong Towns and Kerr Tar Regional Council of Governments. Strong Town's Chris Allen will discuss why so many towns are struggling with crumbling infrastructure, rising debt, and taxes that never seem to be enough. This talk explains — plainly and powerfully — how we got here and what we can do to build stronger, more resilient communities.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why traditional “growth” strategies leave towns broke
  • Why older neighborhoods are often more valuable than new ones
  • How “small bets” create lasting change
  • How engaged citizens can shape a better future
