LATEST RELEASE

Watch as I discuss each letter on YouTube.

Small towns are special. They offer a less crowded lifestyle, a stronger sense of community, a lower cost of living, a slower pace of life, and a uniqueness not found in big cities. 

Unfortunately, because they are small, they don’t have the resources of big cities regarding economic and community development. Small towns may have limited access to capital, skilled labor, transportation, communication, and markets, essential for economic growth and innovation. Additionally, small towns may face challenges such as aging populations, infrastructure issues, and cultural resistance to change, all of which can hamper their ability to adapt and compete in a globalized economy. In this book, I’ll provide public officials, community leaders, and volunteers in small towns with some basic information and some creative ways to overcome their disadvantages and improve their towns through economic and community development tools and practices. I’ll use some specific examples of how communities have accomplished this.
