RCC is a tool for growing local economies

Posted by Lloyd Campbell (Glenwood), District Membership chair

Growing local economies is a Rotary focus.
The Rotary Community Corps (RCC) is a tool to accomplish that task. RCC teams work in partnership with Rotary clubs to improve their community. RCC is open to adults in a community that shares the Rotary commitment to service.

For example, Glenwood is a bike-friendly community. The city is completing a $10 million dollar ”Complete Street” project that provides easy biker access to state and local bike trails.The Glenwood Rotary Club received a D5950 grant to help design and construct a mountain bike course in the local historic Glacial Ridge Park. The club is forming an RCC to further develop this and grow the local economy. Mountain bike racing is a billion-dollar industry. Local community leaders and developers would like to see Glenwood join other Minnesota cities as a premier biking travel destinations. Stay tuned!
