Denmark

Working with Harry Chrissy on Denmark has been a good eye opener to how difficult it can be to come up with feasible solutions for communities that are experiencing the financial and social issues Denmark is dealing with. We easily could have spent the entire year working with Harry and the community and would have only touched the tip of the iceberg. Our second class visit was personally very valuable to my understanding of the community. Walking around downtown with Harry and observing what currently exist and the just the general character of the citizens helped my understanding of the things we could begin to suggest as a class to help move them in a more positive direction. Unfortunately, we only had the opportunity to provide some broad suggestions, but I feel like its a great starting point to get a community dialogue gong and hopefully lead to some improvements. Denmark is lucky to have resources like Harry and Jim Harrison who feel invested in the future of this place and are actively trying to get good things going.
