For public spaces, community partnerships are essential.
One example: Fort Monroe, a former U.S. Military installation in Hampton, Virginia.
Scott Martin is the CEO of the nonprofit Fort Monroe Authority - a job he began this year after serving as Administrator of Chattanooga Parks and Outdoors.
On Monday, he will return to Chattanooga - as the speaker for the final lecture for this year’s Rita Vital Moccasin Bend Lecture Series from National Park Partners - starting at 7 PM at the Tennessee Aquarium’s River Journey Auditorium.
I spoke with Scott - and Jennifer Crutchfield of National Park Partners.
