Three of our researchers (Christopher Mitchell, John Farrell, & Brenda Platt) sit down together to discuss how small cities across America are innovating in the ways they are supporting their local economies. Mitchell discusses this innovation in Idaho; Farrell details the discussions in Decorah, Iowa; and Platt portrays many different home composting programs. Topics discussed include: why small cities are making investments in broadband infrastructure [4:47]; what improvement districts can do for businesses on small town Main Streets [7:36]; Cheverly, Md.'s home composting program enabling greater backyard composting [15:10]; the climate and economic impacts of home composting [16:00]; the fight for local energy resources in Decorah, Iowa [20:30]; and finally why a community making their own investments is so important for making a more affordable and renewable energy system [23:00].
