STAND + DELIVER: SAFETY
05.20.2010 // by: Alison
CreateHere is proud to announce Stand & Deliver, a series of civic “interventions” designed to channel the time and talent of Chattanooga citizens into community-building efforts, new and old.
In the coming months, CreateHere will be partnering with local organizations, institutions, businesses, and individuals to address major themes that emerged from the Stand survey results—specifically, concern about Chattanooga’s future in the areas of public safety, education, and the environment.
Stand & Deliver: Safety is the first of these three Stand & Deliver events and will take place June-September of this year. Aiming CreateHere’s proven methods and models at connecting around a community goal, Stand & Deliver consists of four citizen-led stages—all centered on improving quality of life and making Chattanooga a safer city.
