Healthy Rural Communities: A Resource and Action Guide for North Carolina

Healthy Rural Communities: A Resource and Action Guide for North Carolina was developed as part of the North Carolina Smart Growth Alliance's Healthy Rural Communities Initiative. The primary goal of this initiative is to include and amplify rural voices in the current statewide growth debate, steering it away from a predominately urban and affluent point of view.

The Guide describes growth and development issues in rural North Carolina, and provides insight based on the North Carolina Smart Growth Alliance's (NCSGA) Principles of Smart Growth. Also included in the guide is a collection of tools, resources and partnership ideas that may be drawn upon when responding to the challenges of growth.

NCSGA is releasing this guide in advance of its Online Toolkit, which will be available in the near future. The guide is available online as a PDF document at the resource link below.
