ABOUT BUILDING STRONGER CITIES

Building Stronger Cities focuses on the importance of citizen education and engagement in support of Home Rule in Florida. Home Rule allows citizens and local governments to make decisions that are best for their communities. And a more knowledgeable community means more local voices making local choices that are unique to each of Florida’s 411 cities, towns and villages.

“Knowledge is not just power. Knowledge changes paths, creates vision and opportunities, transcends limitations, saves lives and promotes integrity. Knowledge is the foundation to pave the way for our state to Build Stronger Cities.”
