On February 28th and March 3rd, community members gathered for The Next Montgomery County Community Conversations on Quality of Place.  Both conversations focused on what types of improvements do we want to see in our community and how can we get there.  To facilitate the conversation, we created a conversation guide that helped participants identify strengths of the community and areas for improvement or growth.  Then, we worked as a group to prioritize the areas for growth, discussing feasibility and solutions in greater detail.

Wabash Democracy and Public Discourse gathered information from these conversations, analyzed the information, and created a comprehensive public report. The report can be accessed here. This report was presented on April 30 in a public presentation at the Will and Ginny Hays Center for Leadership and Community Development. The report was sent to Crawfordsville and Montgomery County officials.

This community conversation was sponsored by a grant from the Indiana Humanities.
