Happy July 4thWeek!
And Congratulations to the City of Decatur for being named an All America City by the National Civic League. Since 1949, the National Civic League has recognized and celebrated the best in American civic innovation with the prestigious All-America City Award. The Award, bestowed yearly on 10 communities (more than 500 in all) recognizes the work of communities in using inclusive civic engagement to address critical issues and create stronger connections among residents, businesses and nonprofit and government leaders. The City of Decatur was recognized for the Better Together Initiative that resulted in the BT Community Action Plan for Inclusion, Equity and Engagement; Community Policing; and the I Am Decatur photographic/essay project created by resident Beate Sasse.
