Placemaking for the 250th: A Roadmap for RevolutionNJ Communities Workshop Series, introduces the concept of placemaking to communities commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America.
In our first webinar, Creating a Sense of Place: Introducing Placemaking, panelists provide a general overview of placemaking and why it makes sense for engaging the public in the 250th. Our first speaker, Courtenay Mercer provides an overview of what placemaking is and how it stitches history, heritage tourism, public arts, civic engagement, and economic development together. Miriam Salerno highlights the impact of publicly-engaged urban planning and the role placemaking can play in bringing people into historically informed development efforts. Craig Schlosser discusses why Morris County has focused on creative placemaking and the various benefits it has brought to the county's Cultural and Heritage Tourism. Tom Werder dives into specific case studies that Morris Arts helped develop, demonstrating the types of initiatives and programs a town can incorporate into their 250th planning.
This series will be of special interest for RevolutionNJ Communities, city councils, business owners, community planners, destination marketing organizations, history and arts-based organizations, and individuals looking for ideas and approaches to commemorative efforts.
