Community Awareness Team Two programs are currently being tested by this newly established team. 1st Impressions Program is an exchange community visitation program, developed by Wisconsin Extension, intended to help a community discover the image their community is creating with those visiting the community. The second program is entitled Community Design Team. This effort is an opportunity for a community to gain critical expert assessment and follow-up suggestions regarding design issues in the community. Both programs fit well with the existing Extension program Empowering Local Communities for Economic Development.
