The Borough of Quakertown has utilized their Main Street designation to develop an evolved revitalization strategy that has identified Nature-Based Placemaking as a key priority. Learn how the community is benefiting when outdoor recreational activities, health, and wellness are incorporated into a strategy. This session will highlight the Nature-Based Placemaking concept, as well as the WalkWorks program, which provides funding and technical assistance to select communities to develop and adopt an Active Transportation Plan or similar policy. Hear firsthand from Quakertown Alive! about how they have benefitted from a WalkWorks grant, as they discuss the importance of connecting different community plans, processes, results, and recommended actions, and how their work can be adapted by other communities.
