Strong Towns Curbside Chat with Charles Marohn

Are Our Cities and Towns Financially Healthy?

On Thursday, October 20 Charles Marohn will be in Bellingham, talking about the financial health of American cities:
• Why are our cities and towns so short of resources despite decades of robust growth?
• Why do we struggle at the local level to maintain our basic infrastructure?
• How can we become more resilient in changing times?

The current path that many American cities are pursuing is not financially stable.
Strong Towns ideas can help us choose a different path. Come and listen to any of the three Curbside Chats, and join in the discussion with your friends and neighbors.
