Wayne County Community Development
Welcome to the Wayne County Community Development Page!
The mission of the Community Development program is to, “strengthen the capacity of local leaders, residents, and organizations to build strong, vibrant communities by using research-based resources to guide their decisions”. We don’t make the decisions for communities—we provide resources (such as workshops, data, publications, etc.) to guide communities in making decisions.
When we work with a community, it is usually to train leaders on tools and techniques that help them make better decisions. We provide the process—they provide the content.
The five pillars Community Development focus on:
- Leadership & Civic Engagement
- Community & Organizational Planning
- Economic & Business Development
- Local Government Education
- Quality Places
I provide programs and educational learning opportunities to improve the quality of life in Wayne County!
