Did you watch the three videos produced by Friends of Midcoast Maine this past winter? They focus on the workshops held this past October in Belfast and Lincolnville Center, Maine and feature tools you can use in your town to build better communities. From Values Based Planning to Place-Making and Form Based Codes, these tools combine into a robust assessment of community and place, and work
together to empower a community. Visit "The Community As Expert", "Measuring Your Place"
 and "Community Building Tools and Strategies"  to sample these tools. For more information or to schedule a workshop in your town, call 207-236-1077 or e-mail info@friendsmidcoast.org.
