Growing Together in North River Manatee County
You are invited to an exciting and groundbreaking virtual presentation regarding the area north of the Manatee River in Manatee County. Amber Lamerson, Director of Community Impact at the Bishop-Parker Foundation will be the featured speaker.
North River Manatee County is one of Florida’s fastest-growing regions. Yet, rapid change is fueling local concerns. Today, North River Manatee County faces a fundamental choice: Will the community further fragment amid the pressures of growth and change or come together to shape a shared future?
Bishop-Parker Foundation, in partnership with the Patterson Foundation kicked off and funded the North River Manatee County Initiative several months ago. Amber will share an overview of the Initiative, what has been accomplished to date, and introduce the report Growing Together in North River Manatee County: Shaping a Shared Future. The report explores how people across North River Manatee County see and experience life and offers key areas for strengthening civic culture so the community itself can come together to determine how best to move forward.
Wherever you live in or near Manatee County, you feel the impact of change in our county. Please join us in learning about and exploring a strategic option for shaping positive change.
