Building a platform for wealth in Selma NC

Last Updated 12/16/2021


Charles L Mahron Jr.'s new book “Confessions of a Recovering Engineer: Transportation for a Strong Town” details a Strong Towns approach to raising up small towns like Selma, NC. A main takeaway: don't make widening roads your #1 priority. Build a platform for wealth in your central business district first and make it walkable/bikeable. #StrongTransportation #safestreets 

Here's a link to a book review by activator Cindy Brookshire:
