I sponsor the Tuscaloosa Local Democracy Internship
Our interns study theories of democracy, and study democracy first-hand in Tuscaloosa. The Local Democracy Interns receive course credit for assisting citizens groups in gathering the information they need from municipal government. Past interns gathered information on recently proposed projects that need City approval.
A map of local projects with brief descriptions can be found here.
In less than two years, our map has had in excess of 30,000 views!
And, we can happily report that the City of Tuscaloosa now posts all proposals on a publicly available map.
