USDA and Univ. of Ky. community-development program release digital placemaking toolkit for rural communities

A new digital toolkit aims to help rural leaders build sustainable economic-development projects best suited to their community's capacity. The tool was created by the Agriculture Department's Rural Development programs and the University of Kentucky’s Community and Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky, which held a Placemaking in Small and Rural Communities Conference last week. 

CEDIK released a similar toolkit then that identifies different resources rural communities can access, but the new toolkit differs in that its interactive features can help guide leaders to identify which projects are right for their area. Read more here.
