Following our two month summer programming break covering July and August, we are resuming our programs on September 9th at 11:00 AM till Noon at The Gathering Place.
We want to welcome everyone back from the summer break and hope that everyone had a safe, healthy, and enjoyable time despite the hot weather and frequent rains.
What Does “Resilience” Mean for Our Region?
Have you ever wondered how the communities around us are preparing for the challenges that may lie ahead?
The Central Pines Regional Council (CPRC) works with representatives from seven counties in central North Carolina, along with 50 local governments within those counties. Its staff brings expertise in areas that affect all of our communities—from transportation, aging and human services, and housing to the environment and resilience.
What makes CPRC particularly interesting is its regional perspective. Rather than looking at these issues one community at a time, CPRC takes a broader “wide-lens” view, helping local government leaders understand regional trends, challenges, and opportunities.
In 2022 and 2023, CPRC staff prepared two Regional Resilience Assessments designed to provide a “roadmap for action” for the years ahead.
At our Green Scene meeting on Wednesday, September 9, Chris Lawson, CPRC Program Manager, and several members of his staff will join us to take a look back—and a look forward.
They will first give us some background on the goals and objectives of the Resilience Assessments. But perhaps more interestingly, they will share what has happened since those assessments were published. With two to three years of experience now behind us, how closely have actual developments followed the expectations and projections outlined in the reports?
Come join us for what should be a fascinating and informative discussion about the future of our region—and what “resilience” really means for the communities in which we live.
