All Communities are Facing…
• Fewer public dollars• Increasing responsibility for communities to
solve their own problems• Power distributed widely and thinly• Government key, but only one actor in
developing and implementing solutions• Increasing diversity and potential for
polarization- John Parr, National Civic
League, 1993
