Grace Whatley is the Development Resource Specialist at Strong Towns, creating key resources, collateral, project proposals and grant applications that support specific programmatic initiatives and accelerate the mission of Strong Towns at large. Growing up in small-town New England, she is a proponent of strong rural communities and their innate relationships to the land around them. Prior to joining the Strong Towns team, Grace lived and worked in the remote desert community of Green River, Utah, where she facilitated an artist residency, managed small-scale downtown revitalization projects, and secured grant funding from private and public sources. She is also an artist herself, working variably in printmaking, drawing/painting, and ceramics. Grace now lives in Delta, Colorado with her partner, a cat and dog, a small collection of terrarium animals, and a large collection of rocks and houseplants.
