Help Restore the Green Box Pocket Park
Green Box has given generously to the Market Street community by making their outdoor space available for everyone to act as a third space. We hope that people who are invested in the community, like you, will come together to gather the resources needed to refurbish this communal space.
All donations will go toward material costs, and Strong Towns Wilmington members will volunteer labor to restore the space.
The first project is to rebuild the stage, which has bowed severely and can no longer accommodate performers. A newly built, weather-resistant stage will help bring the space to life!
Strong Towns Principle #5: Strong cities, towns, and neighborhoods cannot happen without strong citizens (people who care).
Places endure when residents assume ownership of their cities. This is quite different from the passive role conventionally played by residents. In the Strong Towns 101 course, Chuck Marohn describes the shift that must take place as moving from “Residents as Customers” to “Residents as Shareholders.”
