Boulder Heart & Soul, Part 2

Boulder residents gathered at City Hall on July 23 to explore existing strengths and opportunities in our community, and to begin to map key actors and networks.

This was the second session of the Heart and Soul series. Boulder was selected as one of five towns to join a new Montana cohort of Community Heart and Soul, a national organization that helps rural communities survey residents and establish long-term goals and action plans.

The session began with citizens assessing drivers of community readiness within four broad categories: community interest, leadership, relationships and community culture, and resources. Each category was evaluated based on whether it represented a strength, an opportunity, or a point of mixed or uncertain progress.
