Tennessee Placemaking Partnership
January 8, 2020

Fostering Economic vitality through placemaking
The Tennessee Placemaking Partnership is a continuation of the Thriving Communities accelerator program. It assists small and/or rural communities in Tennessee as they evolve their project-based placemaking work into longer-term community-wide strategies for social and economic prosperity.
The Partnership helps participating teams determine authentic and appropriate methods for enhancing economic growth, resilience, and sustainability in their communities through arts, cultural, and natural assets.
To be eligible for Partnership support, cities must be located in Tennessee, and have completed the Thriving Communities program.
The Thriving Communities process has been about finding an identity. It was always there, but we needed to make the intangible tangible. We needed to find our voice, and Thrive has given us the platform to stand up and say, ‘This is who we are. This is where we want to go next.
