Proviso Partners for Health (PP4H) and a volunteer team of urban planners from the Illinois Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA-IL) engaged community members in visioning discussions about local entrepreneurship and community wellness for a thriving Maywood.  More than 30 residents, local entrepreneurs, and business owners who attended the July 17 workshop shared their ideas for growing Maywood’s local economy and creating a community hub of opportunity for the entire Village. 

PP4H would especially like to thank the Pro Bono Committee of the Illinois Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA-IL) for its leadership and collaboration organizing and co-facilitating the July 17th workshop.  PP4H is honored to be selected by APA-IL as the winning applicant from across the state to receive expert urban planning assistance and workshop facilitation from a 7-person volunteer team of urban planners from across Chicago.
 
The PP4H and APA-IL team summarized what we learned in a report that captures community members' ideas, suggestions, and broad themes from the workshop.  (A copy of the report can be found here.) 

At its Fall Summit in November, PP4H facilitated roundtable discussions with coalition members, residents and business owners to further explore a mix of possible local retail and business ideas, entrepreneurial opportunities, and nonprofits that promote health and wellness.  As we work to bring ideas to fruition for the Health Hub, PP4H will continue to engage residents in a community-driven planning and development process.

I find this article inspiring. Being a <a href="https://www.techfiver.com/toxicwap-movie-download/">first-time entrepreneur</a> can be challenging and <a href="https://www.techfiver.com/toxicwap-series/">nerve-wracking</a> but also very <a href="https://www.techfiver.com/fzstudios/">exciting and rewarding</a>. And, luckily, there is a lot of advice out there for the <a href="https://www.techfiver.com/toxicwap-movie-download/">aspiring entrepreneur</a>.
