Creative Placemaking Toolkit for Counties

As public funding becomes increasingly strained, counties must search for and employ new strategies to improve their communities and local economies. NACo, in partnership with Americans for the Arts launched the Creative Counties Placemaking Initiative to support counties as they work to identify and strengthen ways to integrate arts into solutions to local challenges. The Creative Placemaking Toolkit for Counties is a web resource with recorded webinars and conference sessions as well as links to useful tools for counties, particularly related to the impact of arts and culture on local economies and potential funding opportunities. It is most helpful to county governments and rural governments who know a little bit about creative placemaking already and are looking to expand their local economies through the arts.
