Restorative Community Design Opportunity

Tribal governments are invited to apply for support from the Every Place Counts Design Challenge to redesign transformation structures that divide their communities into integrated transportation designs that connect neighborhoods and weave communities back together. 
Four finalists will be selected to host a two-day community vision design session in the month of July. The design sessions will include technical assistance to assist the tribe in improving access for the community to jobs, healthcare, schools, grocery stores and other essential services.

To apply, register by May 20 and submit a final application by 4 p.m. Central time on June 3.
