Maroney Commons: “Uncommon innovation” made common

December 28th, 2011

It’s old news now, but worth repeating. The Maroney Commons, a conference and training center in Howard, SD, recently received the 2011 Rural Smart Growth Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Smart Growth is a set of community design and transportation principles that govern the sustainable development of communities. In many ways, these principles are the vanguard against the urban sprawl that plagues our country. But the principles have impact in many other areas; hence the reason it makes sense to honor a rural project, where sprawl isn’t as much of an issue. The Maroney Commons, a project developed by the Rural Learning Center, received this recognition for numerous reasons: First, it was built on Howard’s Main Street, rather than on undeveloped land outside of the town’s center. Second, it was designed through a process that engaged local citizens; community members provided input through a series of meetings on what they thought the project should look like and be like. And third, the Commons was built to LEED Platinum standards, making use of building materials from old, dilapidated buildings and state-of-the-art renewable energy. To learn more about the project, I would encourage you to check out the facility's website and watch the EPA video embedded below.

I’d also encourage readers to watch the Keloland television news story about the award. Titled “Uncommon Innovation,” it highlights the potential of innovative thinking as an economic development strategy. As reporter Perry Groten states:

So many small towns struggle to keep jobs. But by going green, the Maroney Commons could become a high-tech hub that employs a strategy of recycling to revitalize the rural economy.”

The economies of urban and rural economies alike are being driven by innovation. As we’ve talked about previously, rural communities need to reimagine and reinvent themselves. They need to develop and tap into new competitive advantages -- or they won’t have a reason to exist. That doesn’t mean that every rural community needs a conference center like the Maroney Commons. But Rural America would be a stronger place today if more communities made “uncommon innovation” more common.

Buy Kamagra Without Prescription

June 21st, 2010

Buy Kamagra Without Prescription, Does your small town have an ugly concrete wall, like the one to the left, which ruins the aesthetics and design of your community. Kamagra medication, Maybe it's a highway that divides the town in half or a wetland that conjures up memories from the Swamp Thing.

Regardless of what they are, most communities have design elements that create barriers to how the community functions as well as how other people perceive the community.

I admittedly have miniscule visual design abilities. As I look at the image above, Kamagra in canada, Online buy Kamagra without a prescription, feelings of emptiness and helplessness creep in. I would not be able to help a community figure out how to improve the aesthetics of a wall like this. There are, however, order Kamagra online c.o.d, Saturday delivery Kamagra, lots of people who look at walls and see opportunities. And luckily they are willing to volunteer in projects like design:SD and Design Connect.

Bringing professional services to underserved rural areas

We've talked previously about the Rural Learning Center's involvement with Design:SD. Today, I want to highlights the efforts of Design Connect, Kamagra prices, Purchase Kamagra online no prescription, a similar project sponsored by students at Cornell University in Upstate New York.

Similar to design:SD, Kamagra buy, Kamagra in uk, the project seeks to "create comprehensive and sustainable design solutions" in partnership with underserved rural communities. It differs in three noticeable different ways:

First, it's a student led-project. Founded by Jennifer Ng and Chris Hardy, buying Kamagra online over the counter, Kamagra tablets, Design Connects links students seeking real life work experiences with communities who lack the resources to hire a professional design firm. For the most part, where can i order Kamagra without prescription, Order Kamagra no prescription, Design:SD has focused on bringing together community development and design professionals who are already in the field. The opportunity to involve more students in Design:SD should increase as South Dakota State University get's its architecture program off the ground, buy Kamagra online cod. (The program's new dean, Dr, Buy Kamagra Without Prescription. Kamagra price, coupon, Brian Rex has already expressed interest in design:SD.)

Second, Design Connect appears to use a broader array of disciplines in their planning teams, Kamagra discount. Where to buy Kamagra, The Design Connect website suggests that participating students come from the Real Estate, Architecture, next day Kamagra, Purchase Kamagra, Historic Preservation, City and Regional Planning, sale Kamagra, Kamagra in australia, Interior Design, Design and Environmental Analysis, Kamagra paypal, Buy Kamagra without a prescription, Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, delivered overnight Kamagra, Kamagra in mexico, Environmental Engineering, and Natural Resources Departments, buy Kamagra online no prescription. Kamagra prescriptions, For the most part, DesignSD has relied heavily on architects, Kamagra in japan, Kamagra craiglist, landscape architects, and community development professionals, Kamagra price, coupon. Buy Kamagra from mexico, I'm wondering if there's an opportunity to connect with students in various programs in colleges across South Dakota.

And finally, the Design Connect project appears to be more project specific. In other words, buy Kamagra without prescription, Kamagra in us, the community defines a problem and asks Design Connect for assistance. DesignSD takes a more comprehensive look at the community before making its recommendations, where can i order Kamagra without prescription. Kamagra buy, I'm not sure if one way is better than the other, but its iteresting to see other approaches.

Design:SD and Design Connect are not the only programs brining volunteers to rural communities to help with design elements. In fact, rx free Kamagra, Order Kamagra from United States pharmacy, Minnesota Design Team was instrumental in helping Design:SD get off the ground. If you know of any others, I hope you will share links to them so that other people can benefit from their experience, where can i buy Kamagra online.

Buy Vastarel Without Prescription

October 1st, 2009

Lindsey is out in Buy Vastarel Without Prescription, Hill City, SD today leading the DesignSD team in a community design charrette, so the question about the design and appearance of farm/ranches is timely. It's actually not my question; rather it's Caleb Schultz's at the America's Great Divide blog.

Caleb's blog is fresh off the press (just two days old). His goal for the blog is to bridge the gap between urban and rural people, Vastarel paypal. Vastarel pills, In his first post, he laments the negative attitudes he sees from many of his urban counterparts and asked what it will take to change their minds? In his second post, Vastarel price, coupon, Order Vastarel online c.o.d, he connects the importance of a farm's physical appearance with the growing local foods movement, noting the following:

"Part of connecting with consumers in the new local food market includes your business facility, free Vastarel samples. Order Vastarel online overnight delivery no prescription, Yep, your farm or ranch is now your place of business, buy Vastarel without a prescription, Buy Vastarel from mexico, your store front. If we want to connect to the urban society, order Vastarel from United States pharmacy, Ordering Vastarel online, there needs to be a touch of class and refinement. I'm not talking fake - dude ranch style, Vastarel tablets, Buy generic Vastarel, I'm talking nice respectable working facility style. A place to be proud of and a place to humbly show off when the city folk decide to see what agriculture is all about."

Good point, delivered overnight Vastarel. Fast shipping Vastarel, Anything we can do to combat food from being a commodity is good in my book

But because Lindsey is working with the DesignSD team right now, Caleb's comments caused me to wonder what impact the appearance of farms have on the small towns around them? We know that people judge a community solely on its appearance. We also know that good signage (and branding) that extend beyond the physical limits of a town's boundaries has an impact as well. Do people see the farms they drive by as extensions of a community as well?

I'm really not sure of the answer here, buy Vastarel without prescription, Cod online Vastarel, but I suspect the answer lies in an adage that you've heard me say many times before - "it's all connected."

Buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) Without Prescription

July 21st, 2009

Buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) Without Prescription, Many people believe that for a town to grow, it needs a new development on the edge of town. People moving to town need a place to build, so why not? A contractor or developer buys land on the edge of town and divides it into cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets. The developments often eat up valuable farmland, and become a suburban island far from where people work and play. New urbanism, Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) price, coupon, Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) prices, or smart growth, is helping these cities and towns develop better, buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) online with no prescription. Cod online Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline), New urbanism believes in land conservation, mixed use development, sale Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline), Buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) from canada, and pedestrian friendly neighborhoods. These new developments are built in one of two places: infilling an existing but declining neighborhood, or on the edge of town. Infilling prevents sprawl, Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) in australia, Order Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) no prescription, saves resources by using existing infrastructure, and helps bring back life in old neighborhoods.

When infilling is not an option, buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) without a prescription, Purchase Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) online no prescription, new developments using smart growth principles are modeled after older neighborhoods in the community or city and placed on the edge of town. These lots are set up on a traditional grid pattern with narrower streets to slow traffic, with narrow and deep lots. This promotes a safe neighborhood for children to play in, Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) in india, Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) buy, pedestrians to stroll, and others the ability to bike to work. These developments model themselves off existing streets and neighborhoods to help connect with the town. This helps the development create a sense of self, purchase Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) online, Order Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) online overnight delivery no prescription, as well as a feeling of belonging to the city and not an attached parasite.

New urbanism also believes in mixed use development. Good new urbanism developments actually have a higher population density than average neighborhoods, connect residents around community plazas and playgrounds, where can i buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) online, Where to buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline), and provide essential shopping (think groceries, hardware, where can i order Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) without prescription, Rx free Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline), florist, etc.) as well as offices within minutes. They encourage biking and walking; they build apartments and single-family homes in the same neighborhood, buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) from mexico, Order Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) from mexican pharmacy, and invest in community spaces. All of these aspects contribute to a community's social capital.

So, buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) online cod, Buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) online without a prescription, why do we not see more new urbanism in our communities? I think one reason is the fact that they take more planning and effort. I think we can all agree that a larger up-front investment is hard for any community to swallow, whether it has 500 or 100, order Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) from United States pharmacy, Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) in us, 000 residents. But, if people start asking for these types of neighborhoods, saturday delivery Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline), Buy Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) without prescription, I think they can become more commonplace and start to outnumber their suburban counterparts.

Which would you rather live in, and why? Is there a reason you would prefer one over the other? This is something I want to study more and would like to hear some input, Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) craiglist. Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) for sale, For more information on this topic and what our neighbor to the east is doing to implement these new neighborhoods, check out the Greater Minnesota Housing Fund's Building Better Neighborhoods website, next day Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline). Avodart (GlaxoSmithKline) in canada,

Buy Clozapine Without Prescription

July 7th, 2009

Buy Clozapine Without Prescription, As I promised, here's an update on what I experienced over the weekend at the Gary, South Dakota 3^rd of July Celebration. For a town of 250 residents, they held an amazing event. Both the Sioux Falls Argus Leader and the Watertown Public Opinion published stories. Rather than describe the activities or the grand opening of the Buffalo Ridge Resort, I want to share "5 things I saw" in Gary while I was at the celebration.

1. Buy cheap Clozapine, The transformation of a decaying community asset: I've previously stated that I believe most rural communities have hidden assets waiting to be transformed. And the former South Dakota School for the Blind may have been more decay than asset. But a quick look at these before and after pictures will show what vision and hard work can do. I hope it inspires other rural communities to look for assets they can develop.

2. A community coming together: Gary residents have always come together to sponsor some great community celebrations. This year, they put together an incredible set of activities for their two-day 3^rd of July Celebration that coincided with the Buffalo Ridge Resort grand opening. Not only do events like this bring money into town, order Clozapine from United States pharmacy, Clozapine to buy, but they also create a sense of community for residents and visitors alike. (If you want to see what other events the community has planned, I'd encourage you to check out their new website.)

3. A Sense of Opportunity: While taking some pictures Friday, where to buy Clozapine, Where to buy Clozapine, I overheard one middle-aged guy say, "I want to move back, Clozapine trusted pharmacy reviews, Order Clozapine online overnight delivery no prescription, and I mean here (meaning Gary) not Watertown." I don't know where the person lives or what he does for a living, but I'll bet he wasn't the only one to say that over the weekend. The Buffalo Ridge Resort has undoubtedly created some employment opportunities, Clozapine overseas, Clozapine in us, but hopefully it will also inspire others to dream of creating their own businesses. (Anyone who has such dreams should contact Briana Hoffman, Deuel Area Development, buy Clozapine online without a prescription, Online buy Clozapine without a prescription, Inc -- briana.hoffman@rurallearningcenter.org .)

4. An entrepreneur who reinvested in his community after striking success: Let's be honest. It would have been easier for Joe Kolbach to take the earnings from selling his wind energy business and move to the big city. Instead, purchase Clozapine, Clozapine in canada, he chose to reinvest in the community that helped him build his company.

5. Skepticism: Yes, I overheard a few other people talking about how tough operating a resort facility in a town of 250 people will be. But as Joe Kolbach said in the Argus Leader, Clozapine to buy online, Clozapine in usa, "People can't imagine why I'm spending the money on building this. But this is a passion for the whole community, Clozapine buy. Purchase Clozapine online, It will work. I wouldn't have built it if I thought otherwise."

So what will the future hold, Buy Clozapine Without Prescription. Some people will root against the Buffalo Ridge Resort because of jealousy and small-mindedness, where can i order Clozapine without prescription. Clozapine prices, That happens in big cities and rural communities alike. Hopefully most people in the Gary region understand what an incredible opportunity stands in front of them. I'm sure there are a lot of communities who would welcome such a development with open arms.

Personally, I'd never root against anything Joe takes on. He built a company from scratch, cod online Clozapine, Buy Clozapine online with no prescription, and has already done more with former blind school campus than most people thought possible. Those are people who usually find a way to get the job done. And they are the type of people we could use more of in our rural communities.

Buy Lozol Without Prescription

June 15th, 2009

Buy Lozol Without Prescription, Last week we introduced you to Nicole Lauck who will be writing posts for us this summer. Today, we're sharing an interview with Howard native, Morgan Andenas.

Where did you grow up, where are you going to school now, and what are you studying?

I grew up in Howard, SD on my parent's farm 7 miles north of town. I went to Howard High and graduated with a class of 38. I am now going to college at Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. In the fall I will be a junior continuing in the Architecture department.

What do you hope to write about this summer?

I hope to write about what I see when I come home from school. Every time I come home (for Christmas, Lozol for sale, Where can i find Lozol online, Spring Break and summer) I see what used to be my day-to-day surroundings differently. I hope to write about what differences I see, and also how my education affects the way I see the world. Instead of taking my surroundings at a glorified face-value, where can i buy Lozol online, Order Lozol from United States pharmacy, I'm beginning to look deeper, both in terms of design and of reality, where to buy Lozol, Online buying Lozol hcl, no matter how harsh it can be. I believe we cannot just say, "That's the way it has always been, buy cheap Lozol no rx, Lozol in mexico, " and that's the end of it. Communities can work towards something better, and I think design can play a large role in that, rx free Lozol. Over the counter Lozol, What's one of your most favorite memories about growing up in a rural community?

That would have to be the neighbors. My closest neighbors are a full mile down the gravel road, and our other neighbors are up to 8 miles away. But, Lozol prescriptions, Next day Lozol, no matter the distance, everyone helps everyone and it's such an amazing community to grow up in; I wouldn't have it any other way, buy Lozol online without prescription. Buy Lozol without a prescription, What's one of your least favorite memories about growing up in a rural community?

The distance between everything was one of the most inconvenient things. To get to any reasonable shopping (above the groceries, gifts and florist shop in town) you have to go at least 30 minutes in any direction. Going to the movies takes 30 minutes, Lozol medication, Buy Lozol online cod, and the closest mall is an hour. Even my friends were at least ten minute drive away. It definitely makes spur-of-the-moment plans much more difficult.

What's the "coolest" small town or place in a small town that you have been to, Lozol trusted pharmacy reviews. Lozol to buy online,

I think any small town that tries to keep its young people around and trying new ways to keep the community alive is pretty cool. We now have a really neat coffee shop in Howard and I love it! After getting hooked on my occasional mocha at school (especially after a long night working on a project), I really appreciate being able to get really good coffee and food right on my hometown Main Street, buy Lozol from canada. Buy Lozol from mexico, (I highly recommend the Oriental Orange Salad.)

As readers know, the Rural Learning Center believes community design is an important element to the success of rural communities. And research seems to suggest that community design (including architectural elements) are very important to Millennials. It will be cool to hear how Morgan reacts to some of that research. Hopefully, Lozol buy, Lozol pills, community leaders (myself included) will "listen" to both Morgan and Nicole. After all, if we want our communities to be places where young people want to live, Lozol in canada, Lozol tablets, we'd better listen. . Lozol in uk. Buy generic Lozol.

Buy Himcospaz Without Prescription

April 3rd, 2009

During the recent Design:SD Buy Himcospaz Without Prescription, charrette in Deuel County, I continually found myself asking the various communities who were represented (there are eight: Clear Lake, Gary, Altamont, Astoria, Brandt, Goodwin, Toronto, Lake Cochrane) a single string of questions.

What is your community's niche? What makes you special and different than the other communities in Deuel County?

Not surprisingly, buy no prescription Himcospaz online, Where can i buy cheapest Himcospaz online, this question was a bit difficult for people to answer. Not because the communities aren't unique, but because they simply haven't taken the time to really think about what those things are. I think the answers to those questions are intrinsically related to branding.

Branding can be a really difficult concept to understand, buy Himcospaz from mexico, Real brand Himcospaz online, and even more difficult to execute. But it doesn't have to be. If you can answer the question above, you're well on your way to identifying your community's brand. Of course there are other elements you will consider as you dig in, buy generic Himcospaz, Himcospaz from canadian pharmacy, but the basics come back to knowing who your community is and being able to communicate it to others.

So, what does this have to do with Design:SD?

Design:SD always tries to start with the strengths of the communities as they currently exist. Knowing your strengths (the foundation of your brand) gives the design team a solid foundation to build upon.

A strong brand can also help your community decide what's most important to work on first. It can help you understand what elements need to stay because they build character and make your community unique, delivered overnight Himcospaz, Himcospaz over the counter, and what elements need to go because they detract from it.

So, if you're reading this post and aren't sure where to start in your community, Himcospaz price, coupon, Order Himcospaz no prescription, I'd challenge you to answer the questions above and begin focusing on those ideas and projects that build a stronger sense of who your community is. I don't think you can go wrong when you begin there.

Buy Celexa Without Prescription

April 2nd, 2009

Design:SD Buy Celexa Without Prescription, is a lot of fun because we don't focus on financing - or more specifically, the lack of it. Instead, the team and community spend a lot of time brainstorming and imagining creative projects. Unfortunately, what sometimes happens next is that the design team leaves, and community members are left wondering, "Where is the money going to come from?"

In Deuel, the design team didn't even get out of town before the question was asked. In response, the team created a board with a list of funding opportunities to address the question. (see slide below)

The point behind the board was that lots of funding opportunities exist: so the task becomes matching the funding source with the type of project being developed.

After the board was done, team members began identifying opportunities not listed and we added a couple more ideas (see DOT Enhancement Grant and HOME Funds). We could have added many others (like USDA Rural Development programs) as well, but decided the board wasn't big enough. In any case, the list is far from complete.

A bit of further advice

As I reflect on the slide, Celexa prices, Buy cheap Celexa, I can't help but offer some further advice.

People often worry about funding way too early in a project's lifespan. Rather than focus on money, community members should begin by prioritizing the community's needs and developing a ranked list of projects that meet those needs.

Once complete the community can take the first few projects off the list and begin developing them, buy Celexa online with no prescription, Saturday delivery Celexa, including their cost estimates. It is at this point that attention should be focused on both local resources and outside funding opportunities like those described on the board.

At that point, projects either acquire the necessary funding or they don't. If they don't, ordering Celexa online, Celexa price, coupon, projects may have to go back on the list and wait.
