Sawyer County Placemaking Event
What is Placemaking?
Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Placemaking capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well being.

Or more simply... placemaking is the process of creating public spaces that people can't resist enjoying!
The Sawyer County/Lac Courte Oreilles Economic Development Corporation has organized a Placemaking Event and would like to invite the public to become involved. If you have an interest in volunteering to help with this project, please contact us at info@sclcoedc.com for futher information. More details to come!
