BroadcasterOnline.com “Get Connected!” Statewide Partners Launch Livable605.Org To Promote Livable South Dakota Communities Sioux Falls, SD – If you have ever heard the phrase “livable community” but weren’t sure what that meant, you can learn all about it at www.livable605.org, a new website launched today by a group of statewide partners passionate about making communities healthy and vibrant. “A livable community is one that is safe and secure, has affordable and appropriate housing and transportation options, and offers supportive community features and services,” said Erik Gaikowski, AARP South Dakota State Director. “Research continues to show that where we live can determine how well – or how long – we live. Focusing on the issues that contribute to the ‘livability’ of a community creates great places to live for all ages.” The Livable 605 group, a network of statewide partners from a variety of community sectors, first came together in 2017 to discuss how they could foster collaborative relationships with others across South Dakota to create more conversations about what livability is and what it could mean in different communities. One of the early ideas was to create a website that could house resources accessible to anyone interested in strengthening their own town. The new website features information about the domains of livability, how to get conversations started in a community, how to find other partners and resources, and examples of projects already happening across South Dakota. “Anyone can be a livability champion in their community,” according to SDSU Extension Field Specialist Leacey Brown, “and Livable605.org can be a resource to help them get started.” Check out www.livable605.org, and if you have questions or want to connect with Livable 605, simply email info@livable605.org Income Opportunity Are you a Class A CDL Driver and tired of getting jacked around by employers?
