WHAT TO EXPECT:

The Rural Spark will lead Economic Developers and board members in a hands-on workshop to take any project to the next level. The workshop will help communities get past the roadblocks and turn their ideas into a reality. You will leave with a strong plan by the end of the day to tackle your project and a resource guide to use in the future.

Resource organizations such as USDA, TDA, TPWD, WCTCOG, and more will be on-hand to help participants. There will also be seasoned ED Directors on-hand to help guide you. This group will serve as the resource team, lending their expertise directly to you, the rural economic developers.

We know you have many projects on your plate. We want you to bring one or two projects that you need the most help with, or the one you feel is stuck and you can’t get past a certain point, or one that needs a little help to be pushed over the finish line. No project? No problem. Come and help others with their project and collect new ideas for your own community. You will not leave empty-handed.
