The good momentum and growth along Howard Street (both on the north side in #Evanston and the south side in #Chicago) is due in part to smart city planning and collaborative economic development.

These past two years have been amazing - full of personal and professional growth, amazing partners and new relationships, and working with an all-star team! I can't wait to see what the next two years bring for Creating Community Consulting! #organizationalculture #communitydriven #collaboration #communitygrowth

2nd attempt to post. Though at DEA they are not so proud to highlight their shortcomings that they have no issue hiding from taxpayers. They removed my previous posts which simply expresses DEA's willingness to hide their incompetence and disabled comments on the appropriate post. If this firm put out the truth and numbers of how many things they had to redo on this Highway 20 Safety Upgrade between Corvallis and Albany OR taxpayers would have something to say about this firm’s laughable ranking. How about it DEA, put out an itemized list of everything that had to be done two or three times because it wasn’t done right in the first place and how much taxpayers money was wasted in the process. In my driveway alone they had to do multiple things more than once. No wonder ODOT never comes in on budget with incompetence like this! Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this! DEA was contracted for at least the Newberg-Dundee Bypass, the worst one, up 239% from original estimate. https://lnkd.in/epv6uESx

How the heck do you engage, connect, and mobilize a community toward a common values of resilience? Well, if you're the Nurture Nature Center, you use all the arrows in your quiver - science, art, and deep community relationships. Our partners at NNC published an article describing their multi-pronged CREATE project, which did this work in three municipalities in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. Our team's evaluation work makes an appearance too! It shares a high-level view of how we used Ripple Effects Mapping to help the project document the various (and sometimes unexpected) pathways through which NNC's work catalyzed one impact, which led to another, and then another, and then another... Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/g4beMNjf And big kudos to Kathryn Semmens, Rachel Hogan Carr, and Keri Maxfield for leading this important, community-based work. #CommunityResilience #CommunityScience #NOAAEducation

At Fostering Great Ideas, we annually increase the number of children served and the levels of support provided each child. How? We operate from core values that haven't changed (children matter; relationships are key; communities can respond together). We are also real big into stating our vision clearly and focusing on the strategic plan. Here is our end year piece: https://lnkd.in/e736-x-t

Life is unpredictable, but saying goodbye shouldn't be.  That's where Mary comes in, your friend at Mueller Memorial, guiding you through the toughest decisions with a gentle touch.  Let's talk about making those final moments as meaningful as the life we celebrate.  Ever thought about leaving a green legacy? Let's chat in the comments. #CommunityCare #NaturalReturn #PrePlanning
