Case Studies:
Columbia Imagined: The plan for how we live and grow, an aggressive public engagement process for the City of Columbia, has included 1,500 participants and generated more than 360 goals to guide the community when considering future development options. Residents have participated in community forums, completed surveys and used social media.
Brunswick’s community development planning led to four new business starts and revitalization and funding of downtown improvements. The community now has a general sense of moving forward and working together, and a feeling of accomplishment and hope.
