Make Communities has partnered with Erie 1 Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) and Healthy Community Alliance (HCA) in Cattaraugus County on a “Creating Healthy Schools and Communities” initiative. This long term and cross-sector approach appreciates and responds to the many inputs and obstacles to creating healthier, happier and more livable communities. Together we are focusing on five districts starting in Salamanca and continuing to Gowanda, Randolph, Yorkshire-Pioneer and Franklinville to increase access to healthy foods and transportation options in schools and in the broader community.
As part of the effort, Justin Booth will host a Complete Streets Workshop in Randolph on April 26. The workshop will be at the Municipal Building, 72 Main St. in the Community Room. The event starts at 6 p.m and you can RSVP by email or by calling 664-1787 and speaking with Tom Congdon.
Thanks to all our partners in the Cattaraugus County for their incredible support and enthusiasm for this project. The Salamanca press ran an article explaining the effort and its early successes. Click on the quote below for the full story.
