Sunday afternoons Becky McCray and I, as part of our SaveYour.Town project, are talking about 5 stories found on the internet during the week. Here are the links to the stories we covered this week and the 10 minute video discussion.
- Agritourism Toolkit – Oregon Tourism Commission http://buff.ly/1RnaZNZ Focus on business fundamentals first, then a strong marketing effort.
- 5 reasons small towns should think regionally http://buff.ly/1OqMsmJ Another winner from Katy. Reason 4: “Small towns are inter-connected by family ties.”
- Three rural Australia population trends that should be on your radar http://buff.ly/1Qk1gcg – just like in the US, reports of rural’s death in Australia are greatly exaggerated. “The RAI’s research shows that widespread decline is a myth, the regional population is growing and there is much more to the story.”
- Whitehorse greenhouse teams up with local artists, food co-op http://buff.ly/1oSY653 Greenhouse as biz incubator!
- How to Build a Better Neighborhood http://buff.ly/1oSWI2t Written for small neighborhoods inside big cities, so the ideas work just as well in small towns.
