ERC Project

Project Title: 

Crossing State Lines, Building on Momentum!

Host Community or Region: 

Alabama, Oklahoma, and Tennessee

Host Organization: 

Communities Unlimited
This initiative aims to empower rural communities in Alabama, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, building on the successful ConnectRURAL model's pilot in East Texas, which enhanced local capacities by enabling communities to achieve place-based objectives driven by residents. The ERC Fellow will lead the expansion of the pilot into three new rural regions across three states, establishing relationships with key stakeholders and facilitating community-led, place-based strategies. Their holistic outreach includes connecting with local government, educational entities, libraries, businesses, residents, and nonprofits. The goal is to fortify rural regions, catalyzing locally-driven development for sustained growth and community well-being.
