Are you familiar with the term Low Impact Development or LID? This is development that focuses on design standards that can maintain or restore hydrologic and ecological function. These strategies include conserving and creating vegetative buffers, limiting impervious hard surfaces or replacing with pervious pavers or concrete, and incorporating bio-swales, rain gardens, and amended soils.

📣 We are thrilled to share that the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit, Voices & Votes: Democracy in America, is coming to the Washington Public Library in the Winter of 2025! This incredible Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibition will be hosted in the following towns:
📍 Maryville (Nodaway Community Theater Company)
📍 Sikeston (DAEOC)
📍 Neosho (Crowder College, Social Science Division)
📍 Memphis (Northeast Missouri Regional Planning Commission)
📍 Grain Valley (Grain Valley Historical Society)
📍 Washington (Washington Public Library)
Voices & Votes explores the foundational principles of American Democracy, tracing its roots from the country's beginnings and examining key questions that continue to shape our nation today: Who has the right to vote? What are the freedoms and responsibilities of citizens? Whose voices will be heard? This exhibit serves as a springboard for vital discussions about these issues, reflecting our local stories and experiences. This is made possible through a Grant by @MOHumanities.
