Video
Informational webinar: Community Connectors 2
About the Video
Divisive roadways have left lasting scars in communities across the country—separating neighborhoods, limiting access, and deepening inequities. Our Community Connectors program helps small and mid-sized communities take meaningful first steps to heal those divisions.
In this informational webinar, learn more about the program, its goals, and how your community can apply.
We cover:
- Why we focus on divisive roadways and how our approach differs from large-scale highway teardowns
- The role and value of demonstration projects in building long-term change
- A case study from Harrisonburg, VA on using the Complete Streets Leadership Academy to build momentum
- Program eligibility, application requirements, and selection criteria
Hear directly from our team and explore whether this program is a good fit for your community.
