Does Your Community Embrace its Heritage?

If people like where they live:
Communities that embrace their heritage in an organized systematic manner are more likeable places to live. Heritage tourists stay four times as long as other tourists. Your community can embrace its heritage by investing in the heritage infrastructure. This could include investing in historic homes, museums, zoos, parks, nature centers, landscaping signage, embracing your core values, sharing historic stories, public art, lighting and so forth. A community can create a sense of place if a group of organized citizens employs a plan. It can help your community connect and care.
What makes your city special? Why do you want to live there? What stories does your town have?
Let us help you craft an experience plan for your community. Would you want to live in a place that embraces its heritage?
