The Greenwood Project

Imagine a community where dollars circulate 19 to 30 times before leaving the neighborhood, just like in the famed Black Wall Street of Tulsa, OK. That’s the vision behind the Greenwood Project in Rochester, NY. In the latest episode of Accelerate Greater, OneROC VP of Innovation Shannon Ealy sits down with Dr. LaShunda Leslie-Smith, Davis Craig, and Atashia Sinkler from Connected Communities to share how they’re bringing that vision to life in Rochester’s EMMA and Beechwood neighborhoods through the Neighborhood Hub, Connect Lab, and so much more. Supported by the Regional Revitalization Partnership, with OneROC serving as regional intermediary, Connected Communities is building a resident-led model for neighborhood revitalization that shows exactly what it means to accelerate greater.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
