          TNRC 5-Year Plan (2022-2027)

          Our Plan provides "foundational" focus for the TNRC's operations. In determining the areas of focus, the TNRC looked at:

          >> Past work done by the TNRC, and current work done by the other renewal corporations in community development.

          >> Needs of funders.

          >> Gaps in services.

          >> Needs as identified through analysis of Thompson's economic and social situation through document review.

          >> Needs (overall themes) as identified by interviews and surveys.


          Below are our three (3) areas of focus.
