Here's an article about how we do our part for the environment...

Have you seen the news?! 👀📺 Our very own Kylie Rowe, TMT’s Executive Director, is being featured this week on RTC’s The Road Ahead. In the segment airing on KOLO 8 News Now this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Kylie highlights a few of the #QualityofLife data indicators TMT tracks via NevadaTomorrow.org (our FREE community data portal! 📊), and shares how that publicly available data is then used to measure our collective progress, inform community stakeholders, and improve community well-being overall. A great example of this collaborative effort is the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe Co.'s involvement in our Land Use & Infrastructure category, which includes various local transportation and safety data points, illustrating how these hyper-local indicators are instrumental to regional planning efforts and ultimately drive more economic development throughout the Truckee Meadows. If you happen to catch the segment at home, make sure to tag us @TMTdatastories! ☀️ https://lnkd.in/gAavZ6QE

Interesting! The Great Saunter event, a 32-mile grand loop walk around the edges Manhattan. Increasingly, with the completion of pathways encircling the island, this kind of trek can become more broadly enabled. (In her piece, "Great Saunter Tips from Decades of Walking Around Manhattan" Sarah Milstein mentions that more segments of established pathways around the edges are falling into place.) Terrific to see the proliferation of these kinds of events, and, in the process, communities building this kind of walking green infrastructure! https://lnkd.in/gpE-C9F5

On this Vault short we interview Big Sky Economic Development team member, Thom MacLean to learn more about BSED’s placemaking micro-grant. We talk with Thom about the importance of empowering your community’s residents to transform spaces in their neighborhood into places. We discuss the types of projects our community has accomplished, what is placemaking, and the economic benefits of building a quality community.
