The Project Approach: The Revitalization of Stump Creek. Paper Number One.

The objective of the Project to Revitalize Stump Creek was to design and implement a comprehensive approach to community revitalization. A key aspect of the plan was transfer of ownership to town residents. The town, location and locale, and selection process were described in this report. The project activities occurred in 7 separate phases: community profiling, community organization and feasibility determinations, planning and blueprinting, an environmental impact statement, implementation, revitalization assessment, and transition. Additional information was proved on project strategies, a baseline for economic viability, a funding overview, and some general concepts about small towns. Some of the risks associated with the project were listed. (PS)
