Legacy Foundation announces new initiative, Community Heart & Soul
Join us on September 5 to learn more!
Legacy Foundation is excited to partner with Community Heart & Soul, a national model designed to help build stronger, healthier, and more economically vibrant communities through a resident-driven planning process. Building upon our Neighborhood Spotlight initiative, Community Heart & Soul will bring a unique opportunity to residents and municipal leaders to work together to develop a plan for the future.
This fall, Legacy Foundation will select one community to receive training, technical assistance, and supporting funds to implement the Community Heart & Soul process over a two-to-five-year period. Any Lake County, Indiana town or city with a population of 40,000 or less will be eligible to apply. Applications will open September 5.
Join us at an information workshop to learn how your town could be Lake County's first Heart & Soul community!
Thursday, September 5 | 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
