All over the country towns are creating better places to live through walk and bike friendly communities. As part of the National Physical Activity Society’s efforts to assist rural communities that are seeking to make such changes, we created the Stories from Small Towns project, now in its second year.
On this webinar, we will hear from three of those towns as they discuss the projects that improved their communities:
- Mayor Raymond Gravelle of Soap Lake, Washington (2013 population 1,574)
- Health Planner Angela Drent with the county containing Sergeant Bluff, Iowa (2013 population 4,326)
- City manager Marc Maxwell of Sulphur Springs, Texas (2013 population 15,868)
