Study Circle & Action Forum participants came up with lots of great ideas for projects to create a more thriving community. The ideas have been grouped into three main topics: Expanding Community Resources, Expanding Business Opportunities, and Expanding Marketing and Events.

The success of these ideas depends on community involvement. How do YOU want to get involved in helping your community thrive? Contact the project coordinators to learn more about these Mossyrock Horizons projects, and how you can participate:
