Two Ohio Towns Were Just Named Among America’s Most Resilient Towns
Here in Ohio, our small towns and cities are more resilient than you might think. This year, the Studer Community Institute presented eight communities in America with the Community Resiliency Award and two Ohio towns were recipients. The cities of Chillicothe and Springfield were recognized for their efforts to create a more vibrant, stronger and unified community.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

A nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of life in communities, the Studer Community Institute gave less than 10 communities in America the Community Resiliency Award.

The Studer Community Institute asked cities, towns and counties in America to share some of the steps they were taking in their communities to grow stronger and more vibrant.

Other communities in America that received the award include Columbia, Mississippi, Elkins, West Virginia, Hot Springs, Arkansas, Martin County, Florida, Palatka, Florida and Stillwater, Oklahoma.

From healthcare needs to economic challenges, the global pandemic hasn't been easy on any country, state or town.

In addition to health and economic concerns, the group met virtually to discuss a unified approach to housing, food insecurity, schools and mental health.
