A team of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) partners and their consultants will join local stakeholders to conduct a workshop in Livingston on September 25-26, 2018. Your participation and knowledge of the local area is needed to help make this event a success.

The workshop will bring together many key stakeholders from throughout our region to develop an action plan primarily around, but not limited to, these goal areas:

Use healthy, active living to revitalize downtown and support the goods, and services, and character needed to draw students, visitors, and newcomers to Livingston.
Improve the delivery of health care to residents and students by coordinating university and community resources and facilities.
Enhance inter-organizational communication and build capacity to move key projects forward and to identify/share resources efficiently.
Develop the technology and infrastructure needed to improve access to information, support high quality health care facilities, and enhance the delivery of health care services in Livingston.
Create a sustainable partnership model leveraging the collaborations and outcomes of HP2 Livingston into actions making a positive impact on the entire Black Belt region.

The workshop will help make the connections between local health care systems, community and economic development goals, and place making and includes small group working sessions and discussions on the community’s vision and goals, and specific actions for reaching them. The workshop will lay out an action plan for moving forward.
