What is RESILIENT?

Over the course of 18 months, Thrive West Central has worked diligently to develop a resiliency plan which addresses our region’s most pressing economic issues. Resilient is intended to serve as a guide for communities as they look to emerge from the pandemic and prepare for future economic crises.

Awareness

To identify the most pressing resilience-related challenges and opportunities in our region, and to spur formal acknowledgment of and action towards addressing these challenges.

Resources

To identify public, private, and nonprofit resources that local/regional leaders can utilize in pursuit of addressing these challenges.

DEVELOPMENT

To provide a unified framework for how communities in our region can pursue and build resiliency and prosperity.

Community Conversations

Thrive West Central is preparing for community conversations during its educational phase of Resilient. Resilient aims to combat regional challenges caused by the pandemic.

Throughout this educational phase of Resilient, Thrive West Central will be attending and presenting at council meetings, Chambers, Rotaries, and other community organizations to give comprehensive updates on the recovery plan and how the region can help implement it.

Meetings are open to the public.
