- Prospera is working with the Town of Manhattan, to plan for a new community center to support this growing rural community.
Prospera partners with businesses, organizations, cities, and rural communities to address local needs and navigate the challenges of a rapidly changing economy. Serving as connectors and problem-solvers, we engage with communities dealing with issues such as downtown revitalization, housing, child-care, and other essential infrastructure for economic success. This work is both opportunistic and long-term, as we respond to provide support by identifying funding and expertise to help communities address critical needs.
