Knowledge Center Small Town & Rural Content
Small Town & Rural Planning is the quarterly newsletter of the APA Small Town and Rural Planning Division. Contact the Vice Chair for Communications to contribute news of interest to our members.
In addition to publishing the STaR newsletter, the division sponsors sessions and workshops at national, regional, and state conferences. We have sponsored small town and rural sessions at the APA National Planning Conference. We have an awards program recognizing outstanding projects, programs, plans, and people that are working to make the future of small communities brighter.
We work to spread the word, whether by interviews with newspapers, radio, magazines, and other media resources, or traveling the world telling the planning story. Let us know how we can help you make your small town and rural community a great place.
Newsletters
Our newsletters are one of the benefits of becoming a STaR member.
Project
When able, STaR has supported grants for small town and rural area projects. Our most recent project explored case studies of "New Ruralism".
