HUTCHINSON, Kan. — As part of the follow-up to last October’s “Curbside Chat with Strong Towns’ Charles Marohn” in front of an audience of 225 at Hutchinson’s Historic Fox Theatre, the five organizations that partnered to bring Marohn to Hutchinson will host a “Strong Towns Community Convening.” This discussion will be from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 18, at the Hutchinson Art Center, 405 N. Washington St.

In the months since Marohn’s visit, representatives from the city, Hutch Chamber, Hutch Rec, Young Professionals of Reno County and Hutchinson Community Foundation have been meeting to review the results of the post-event survey from attendees. They have worked to identify strategies that the community can focus on in the effort to make Hutchinson a strong town.

Members of the public are invited to lend their voices to the discussion of those strategies and bring other residents along who will do the same.

The event is free, but RSVP is requested by emailing kari@hutchcf.org.
