@LivingHartford Working to change the narrative is a key. We need to remember to ask those who are choosing to live in our communities why they are making that choice and build on it. #RuralUrbanTalk #CommunityChat

@OnlyInPrestonMN @UMN_Ext_CV Absolutely! We've heard these themes at listening sessions in different parts of the state in recent years. And we see and communities crafting interesting ways to tackle them: EDAs, locally financed senior housing are 2. #ruralrubantalk

@UMN_Ext_CV A2: A few: enough living-wage jobs, child care, capital and other resources for people who want to start a business. #ruralurbantalk

@UMN_Ext_CV People quickly and effectively identify community strengths and opportunities. Those in mid-range and key decisionmaking roles are typically well connected and can align efforts to move community work forward. #ruralurbantalk
