Citizen Initiated Civic Engagement
Citizen Initiated Civic Engagement
Rural Leavenworth, Inc. was formed after the Basehor Urban Growth Management issue surfaced. Many impacted citizens were unaware of the activity until neighbors notified them. Out of necessity for a community voice in county growth and long term planning, we established a non-partisan, community action group to ensure our collective public voice is a part of any growth process.
Here for RLI's annual report of 2021 activity.
Together we have a strong voice in our community. By becoming a member, you help spread the word to neighbors and elected officials. Membership covers operating costs in support of our mission. The cost is $25 per person annually. Use the online PayPal form below or mail a check payable to Rural Leavenworth, Inc.:
