Why Chisholm?

Communities that acknowledge the modern development pattern is not working for them and have leadership that’s willing to change the conversation are invited to apply to host a Community Action Lab.

The process is competitive with dozens of communities applying and only four being chosen for 2023. Chisholm was one of the four places chosen.

We chose Chisholm because the city's leadership has demonstrated the capacity to work innovatively, there is an active conversation about the future of the community already happening in Chisholm, and we believe that success in Chisholm can be a model for communities throughout the Iron Range.

The cost for participation in the Community Action Lab program is being paid for by the Blandin Foundation.
