You'll Like Linton

A little update on something from a short while back: I mentioned that students in the Foundations of Entrepreneurship course at Marian College would be studying the City of Linton in a section entitled, "Social Entrepreneurship." Well, they're working on it now.
The class has been broken down into teams to study this area, its available resources, and grant opportunities, among others. One interesting outcome will be their study of other like-sized communities in the U.S. that have found success in various aspects of economic development. I think another interesting addition will be their "outsider" perspective looking in on our community.
Their final report to the City will be at the City Council meeting scheduled for 7 PM on April 14th, as they are on the agenda to make a presentation of their findings. And that's just one more reason to have a packed house at this next meeting, so see you there!
PS - Special thanks to all of you who volunteered to be local points of contact for these students as they learn about our community. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

What an excellent idea. I would like to have your permission to forward this article to our local schools, perhaps they will do the same here.

The more the merrier! I believe our schools are underutilized as an asset for the community -- and vise-versa. Kids want real-life applications of what they are learning, and municipalities could use the help!
I'm looking forward to hearing what they have to say!
This should be interesting.
