The City of Jackson, TN has made it to round two in the Strongest Towns Contest!
The annual Strongest Town Contest is underway, shining a spotlight on communities that are taking bottom-up action to build resilience and prosperity. This year's winner will be awarded accommodations for a representative to attend the Strong Towns National Gathering in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they will receive an award and be honored as a guest. In addition, Strong Towns will produce a special video about the winning community, showcasing their success and providing an example of how cities can build economic resilience from the ground up. The contest operates like the NCAA March Madness tournament, with communities advancing through single-elimination match-ups each week throughout March and April.
