more stories?

[Michael Herman]

hello everyone,
since birgitt's education query went so well, i thought i'd try another
in an effort to support a friend.  he's working on raising and
integrating support for a community development/economic
development/environmental cleanup initiative in a river valley area near
milwaukee wisconsin.  actually, this is the friend who brought together
the youth action group i posted earlier.  anyway, he's talking with all
the right people, but is looking for more stories of how/where open
space has worked in diverse communities, sustainability projects, and/or
economic/employment development efforts -- stories that good hearted, if
not fully enlightened, mayors, power companies, and real estate
developers might understand and invest in.  what do we know?  i'll do my
best to pull these together in as nice a package as birgitt did with the
school stories, being sure to paste the whole thing into the BODY of an
email when finished ;-)

many thanks,

michael

ps. sheila isakson is also on this case...and meeting with brian this
afternoon.
