Fostering Economic vitality through placemaking

The Tennessee Placemaking Partnership is a continuation of the Thriving Communities accelerator program. It assists small and/or rural communities in Tennessee as they evolve their project-based placemaking work into longer-term community-wide strategies for social and economic prosperity.

The Partnership helps participating teams determine authentic and appropriate methods for enhancing economic growth, resilience, and sustainability in their communities through arts, cultural, and natural assets.

To be eligible for Partnership support, cities must be located in Tennessee, and have completed the Thriving Communities program.
