Your Voice. Your Community. Your Connection

Connecting Communities Living Lab is a project that hopes to help people feel less lonely and more connected. It brings together local people, groups, and businesses to come up with new ideas to help everyone feel included.

We are asking the community to choose the most important problems to solve, and the selected ideas will get support to try them out. This project is part of a bigger plan to make Casey a friendlier, safer, and more welcoming place for everyone.
