Could you please do us a favor? It’s easy. Just answer a single question.
What is something we can address or advance together to make a positive change in our community?

We know you love Rush County. Who better to help with Community Based Action Planning (CBAP), than YOU?!
CBAP is a people-focused, placed-based approach to creating positive change. In CBAP no one person or organization leads the way. Everyone has a say. Over the next 9-12 months, we will
create and implement projects to enhance life in our community using input from residents and based on local data.
For starters, it’s not our plan. It belongs to the whole community. It’s truly a group effort led by the people and for the people. We have guidance from Ball State University. We have money – $100,000 from Lilly Endowment Inc.
But one HUGE piece is missing – community input! We need your help. Please answer this question, by 9/15.
