COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
A Western Matters Topic
As a rural community archetype, John Day, Oregon’s population peaked in 1990, but had since shrank to 1970s levels, following industry declines common throughout many rural areas. In the midst of this, the city fought back with innovative approaches which catalyzed growth again within the community. However, not all residents supported the moves. Now in the midst of political, economic, and administrative turmoil, will John Day emerge a stronger community?
The articles below illustrate our ongoing coverage of community resilience. As one of our core Western Matters topics, we will continue to explore this topic through our Rural Summits and future articles, bringing even more valuable insights to our readers.
