SGA is partnering with T-mobile to assist rural communities
In a unique partnership focused on bringing vital connections to rural America, Smart Growth America is helping T-Mobile give one small community a prize package worth $3 million as well as millions in smaller grants for hundreds of other rural and small town communities to reinvest in their downtowns, improve their quality of life, become more resilient, and improve their connections.
With a track record of providing scores of smaller towns a roadmap<https://default.salsalabs.org/T4c20a311-a5cd-4532-b0f0-7089050ef345/b28fce7a-859b-4271-9ad2-c1c9f46b1abd> for achieving economic vibrancy over the years, Smart Growth America will be helping the winner of the $3 million Hometown Techover develop and implement a plan to enrich the town’s development—such as a place-based economic development plan, the restoration of a neglected downtown square, infrastructure improvements in a historic neighborhood, or investments in a community center.
