Big Idea #7 Collaborate to Expand
Big Idea #7 Collaborate to Expand
Many of the ideas in MeckPlaybook cannot be realized by the County alone. New partners, relationships, and collaborations are needed. Community facilities, like schools and libraries and land trusts are key collaborators to open up more parks and open spaces. Mecklenburg Park and Rec already shares facilities and offers programs jointly with the YMCA. Other programming partners, like the Arts and Science Council, can bring their creativity to help develop and implement cultural activities.
To be truly effective, these partnerships need to clearly outline shared benefits, meet community needs, and support a healthy, long-term relationship.
