An unforgettable day! The sun was shining down as community members gathered to celebrate the recent grand opening of the new Curt Holland Memorial Park. Dedicated to fallen Commerce City Police Department Det. Curt Holland, the new pocket park sits on land generously provided by the Villages at Buffalo Run Property Owners Association. It's a special place where local children can play and where Curt’s memory will continue to thrive in the community he loved and served. 💙 A huge thank you to the Holland family, FOP Lodge 19, Buffalo Ridge Metro District, Suncor, and all our incredible project sponsors for making this dream a reality.

🚨 L.A. is making history on Skid Row! Over the past year, nearly 1,000 people who once called the streets home have moved into permanent housing, thanks to the $280-million Skid Row Action Plan. - This initiative isn’t just about finding a roof—it's about restoring dignity and hope. With nearly 2,000 more placed in shelters, the program is on track to permanently house 2,500 people within three years. This is a powerful example of how focused efforts can change lives and transform our communities. The work isn’t done, but the progress is real, and it’s making a difference. #LACounty #SkidRowActionPlan #HomelessCrisis #PublicSafety #CommunityFirst

As a business leader and neighbor, our decisions are shaped by guiding principles that we call the JKLH Creed. We believe in: ✳ Demonstrating the same care and respect to all communities that we touch as we do across our parent company JK Moving Services and sister company CapRelo. ✳The need for balance between preserving area lands for future generations and commercial development to support area economic growth. ✳Giving back, so we put approximately 44 acres into conservation easement for every 1 acre we develop commercially. ✳Smart development that benefits the area community in terms of jobs and tax revenue. ✳Demonstrating our commitment to the environment by preserving historically and environmentally important sites through conservation easement. ✳Committing time to work with the communities to listen to their wants and needs. ✳Partnering to clean up the environment for the community.

🤔 How can property developers balance profit with community value - and realise they’re not mutually exclusive? 🏘️ The challenge is evident in East London, with small businesses being pushed out due to escalating costs. For example, in Hackney’s Stean Street railway arches, businesses like JC Motors face rent hikes and eviction threats after decades serving the community there, and they’re raising funds to bring the arches into community ownership: https://lnkd.in/e5ae9cqd Half an hour’s walk away, as The Guardian recently reported, #HackneyWalk serves as a warning of the risks of overlooking community needs in high-end developments. A £100m investment has resulted in a deserted ‘luxury’ ghost town: https://lnkd.in/e6wfr42g The push for profit can undermine local economies and community ties - and even the very goal of generating financial value. But, done right, financial and social impact go hand in hand! ✳ Legal & General in Poole has successfully provided rent-free spaces to local businesses, creating a hub of community and enterprise: https://lnkd.in/d58UREgZ ✳ Bywater Properties in Belfast has demonstrated the value of involving community leaders in property development, ensuring decisions reflect community interests: https://lnkd.in/ervBUehw Property development needs to resonate with local communities it’s meant to serve, and put buildings into their hands. #PropertyDevelopment #CommunityEngagement #SustainableSolutions #SupportLocalBusinesses

Roofing Project Manager in Central Texas. Apartment complexes or your grandma's house, makes no difference to me.
Texas Communities Unite for Roof Repairs: Stories of Resilience and Solidarity Across Texas, from the bustling streets of Houston to the historic neighborhoods of San Antonio, communities are demonstrating incredible resilience and solidarity through collaborative roof repair projects. These initiatives not only restore homes but also reinforce the bonds between neighbors, showcasing the true spirit of Texas. In Houston, community efforts post-Hurricane Harvey have been nothing short of inspirational, with volunteers banding together to repair and rebuild. Dallas has seen a surge in local businesses and nonprofits collaborating through the Dallas Roofing Initiative to provide essential services to those in need. Meanwhile, Austin's commitment to sustainable living is highlighted by its push for eco-friendly roofing solutions, and San Antonio's dedication to preserving its rich cultural heritage is evident in its specialized restoration efforts. These stories highlight the strength and determination of Texan communities to support one another in times of need. They serve as a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together.

Congrats to our friend Rocket on his Ted Talk "Vermont: The Value of Hardship" for TEDx Hartland Hill's series, The Art of Living! What a refreshing take on the inherent BENEFITS of hardship: innovation, accountability, and cooperation - these are KEY qualities of Vermont living! Here at BRIC in Springfield, we're acutely and continuously aware of the myriad of challenges that rural life presents in the face of our community development efforts. If we're being honest, the list of obstacles and setbacks we encounter day to day often feels endless - like pushing a boulder up hill (both ways!) in the snow. Anyone boots on the ground doing this type of work knows it's not for the faint of heart, and in fact we often joke that you have to be a certain sort of glutton for punishment in order to ever actually make any progress. We know what we're doing is difficult, and that we're pushing against the odds with the things we're trying to accomplish - and somehow this awareness actually BOLSTERS our determination. The spirit of resilience and ingenuity is STRONG in Vermont. It's an inherent part of our identity. Whether it's snowstorms, early frosts, catastrophic flooding, workforce and housing shortages, food insecurity, busted leaking pipes - whatever the hurdle, Vermonters SHOW UP. We imagine possibilities, we work together, and we GET SHIT DONE. In spite of the challenges, there's nowhere we'd rather be! We believe in the power of our communities, we root for the underdog, and we WILL prevail. Thanks for the food for thought, Rocket! And for all that you're doing to help affect positive change here in Vermont!

In Atlanta Journal-Constitution, City of Clarkston, GA., Mayor Beverly Burks shares how working with Local Infrastructure Hub helped her city secure federal funding for vital road safety improvements: “It’s gratifying to see public, private and non-profit sectors work together to help localities such as City of Clarkston, GA make vital infrastructure improvements, starting with safer streets. Without question, better designed and better constructed roads and sidewalks will save people’s lives. Towns such as Clarkston will always have challenges, and they will never have all the resources and tools we wish we had and that our residents deserve. But we’re finding help from innovative sources, and it is making all the difference. I urge my fellow mayors to do the same.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/evGaKh_C

I'm Bridging the Gap Between Marketing Solutions and Urban Planning, Sustainability, and Climate Goals | Creating Content that Engages and Inspires | GIS Grad Student at Penn State
I appreciate initiatives like this that help enhance the quality of our transit stations 🚉 Putting a spotlight on the Chestnut Hill West line in particular is important, especially with fears of the line's closure looming in the not so distant future. #urbanplanning #publictransport
Regional Rail connects communities and opportunities across Greater Philadelphia. The Free2Be Fund at the Philadelphia Foundation supported essential safety upgrades and the addition of protective fencing around the Native Educational Garden at Highland Avenue Station. This effort, in conjunction with the Chestnut Hill Train Stations Native Gardens initiative, highlights the importance of safeguarding important parts of our community and history.
