Resilient Communities Partnership Open House

The City Council will be hosting an Open House to showcase Fall Semester projects from the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project. For more information on RCP, please visit www.cityoframsey.com/rcp.
 

Community Development Director Tim Gladhill will provide a mid-academic year update on RCP. In 2017, the City was selected as this year's Community Partner for the University of Minnesota's Resilient Communities Project (RCP). RCP matches community projects with resources at the University of Minnesota to complete a wide variety of topics. The partnership is helping advance twenty-two (22) existing policy projects that have been identified in the City's Strategic Plan and Comprehensive Plan. These projects include, but are not limited to Community Identity and Engagement, Land Use and Transportation, Environmental Stewardship, Housing and Economic Development, and Administration. Earlier this evening, the City hosted a mid-academic year Open House. These materials will soon be uploaded to www.cityoframsey.com/rcp. The Fall Semester focused on setting the stage with data collection and policy analysis. The Spring Semester will have a heavier focus on execution. The partnership supplements City resources to accomplish these projects and is seen as an innovative and cost-effective approach to getting these projects off the ground.
