Case Study:
Patrick County, VA

The Reynolds Homestead at Virginia Tech is the State Affiliate serving the Commonwealth of Virginia. Since 2018 Shift Workshops and Evolve programs have transformed Patrick County. Dozens of community members have participated and projects have been implemented that show how community led planning can leverage local resources. The local community created these videos to show how the Shift Workshop works and to showcase the projects that have helped grow the local creative economy and tourism.
