Strong Towns is an international movement that’s dedicated to making communities across the United States and Canada financially strong and resilient. The Problem We Face: For generations, North American communities have been growing — or at least, they’ve been building. But as we’ve paved endless roads, raised countless buildings and put more and more infrastructure in the ground, we’ve given almost no thought to whether future generations will be able to afford to maintain the world we’ll leave them with — or how many of the things we build are making our communities worse places to live today.

Clinton and Jordan will present how their journey led them to embrace Strong Towns and 19 principles they are sharing with the community for input.

Clinton Brown is a business owner and active in the Sioux Falls community. His company Alluvio uses a systematic approach to make an organization’s workflow more effective, more efficient, and more capable of adapting to an ever-changing environment.  He has been a strong supporter of entrepreneurship in Sioux Falls, is married and has 4 children.
