Abstract
The Institute for Regional Analysis and Public Policy (IRAPP) at Morehead State University has partnered with the NewCities Institute and the NewCity Morehead Project to develop an assessment instrument to evaluate the progress that Morehead is making toward its NewCity goals. While this assessment instrument is being piloted in Morehead, IRAPP and the NewCities Institute seek to generalize it to be applicable to all cities that undertake the NewCities initiative. This poster presents the preliminary findings of this research and discusses those findings in light of the overall NewCities' objectives of civic engagement and community development.
