Description: One of the many people we met in Clark County Kentucky said to us, "Everybody's got hope; you just got to bring it out." It's a simple and direct statement—and a true one. The question is, how does this happen? And how does it happen across an entire community to make hope real for all people?

The central challenge facing Winchester and Clark County—like so many other places throughout our country—is how to make community a common enterprise again. At the conclusion of this report, there are seven key steps to do just that. Making progress—real progress—is doable and achievable if people come together to act.
