The power of connection: How community-driven programs unite cities with its residents
The essence of civic engagement is connecting a city with its residents.
On this episode of PSL On The Mic, we sit down with Makenzie Spittler, Communications' assistant manager for engagement and budget, who shares with us the story behind two recently launched community-driven programs that have already made lasting impacts in Port St. Lucie.
The first initiative is the Flag Retirement Box Program, born from a resident's idea to make it easier to properly retire worn or tattered U.S. flags. In just two weeks, more than 260 flags have been deposited in three boxes.
The second initiative, the Little Free Library program, helps us provide accessible literary resources to residents across the City. These are not just boxes of books, however. They create neighborhood hubs for imagination, connection and lifelong learning.
