Groundwork Center for Resiliant Communities

Our speakers today were Dani Knoph and Jen Schaap from Groundwork Center out of Traverse City and they just opened an office in Petoskey. They work to develop sustainable communities.

Our vision of resilience in action.
We work with people to build a thriving local farm and food economy; to make our towns and villages stronger, more walkable, bike-able, and transit-friendly; and to develop local, clean energy. We seek to achieve on-the-ground results in northwest Michigan and leverage them to support other communities and improvements to state policy. All of this is designed to strengthen the local economy, protect the environment, and build community.
