Join us as we kick off planning for a new 17STRONG initiative: Pride in Place
What is Pride in Place?
Pride in Place is a new 17STRONG initiative that recognizes businesses and nonprofits that take pride in their property and actively support their neighborhood. It’s about more than curb appeal—it’s about building a culture of care, presence, and community connection.Why It Matters?
Businesses and nonprofits play a powerful role in shaping how neighborhoods look and feel. When you take care of your space and engage with your neighbors, you help build pride, strengthen community ties, and set an example others can follow.How You Can Be a Pride in Place Partner
