This year, the U.S. marks its 250th anniversary. Over those two and half centuries, communities across the country have grown and evolved, experiencing prosperous times and challenging periods. No matter where we live, most want their hometowns to be places where people feel connected. A spot where they’re proud to call home. Since 2023, the Thriving Communities Program of Alabama Extension has helped rural towns build on their strengths and create opportunities for the future.
