What structural changes have been made in how the community does its work/makes decisions?

As we continue with the Horizons phases we become more involved in several areas of community leadership. From the Town Board to the school district, as well as county boards Horizons is working to be involved in a variety of commuinty activities. The more places we are involved the better chance we have of making the changes needed to reduce poverty in our area. Changes can happen if people become involved and work together for a common goal.

How will your community make decisions about seeking further resources to support its plans?

Bison continues to discuss future plans for sustaining our Strategic Plan. From grants, to fundraising we are researching several avenues. We are in the process of looking into an internet business to provide jobs for the community. The blogs from other communities have helped us to gain insight into how others are making their goals a reality. Through our monthly meetings we can discuss and come to an agreement about how to move forward with our plan.
