In this next round of the same discussion format as Part 1 Rural Sustainability, we will, with sustainability and reality framed, approach how to prioritize services. We will explore questions like, what are attainable realities when we prioritize services? What populations of our rural communities take priority when making these important decisions? Creative types of support that are intangible and still effective while building and strengthening agency capacity and community trust.
