This session will focus on aspects or nuances of implementing the built environment strategy in small towns and rural areas. This session will include a panel of former/current recipients that have been successful in implementing these strategies. This session will help participants better understand how to engage decision-makers and local representatives to support their work, show participants what these types of interventions might look like in their context (e.g. main street changes, a walkable route to a school, or a crosswalk for a major road that bisects town).
Learning Objectives:
- Identify examples/case studies of successful built environment implementation in rural areas and small towns.
- Describe how to engage county and local level decision-makers and representatives.
- Consider how to best apply the strategy to their context.
