 Well, applications are now being accepted by the Initiative Foundation for the Hometown Turnaround Program. The Initiative Foundation in Little Falls has partnered with Community Development Specialist Deb Brown to help two local communities grow and prosper. The prize package is valued at $5,000. We want to look for communities that are able to bring a small group of leaders together that understand the story of their community and are interested in moving forward with some positive action items. Deb Brown will visit the selected communities for four days gathering all of the information on the town. At the end of her visit, she'll leave that town with a plan of action to revitalize their community. Brown has already helped many communities throughout the Midwest. So I will work with the community ahead of time. What do we want to focus on? Do you have empty buildings? Do you have a downtown that's dead? Do you need more work with a committee of negativity or a little bit of all of those and help them get started on small steps that create a brighter future for their community? The deadline to apply to the hometown turnaround program is August 17th. A list of the communities that are eligible and more information on how to apply can be found on our website at lptv.org slash news.
