Affordable Housing Advisory Council Annual Report 2007 - (Page 8) “A few years ago, I read something that said small communities need to grow, change or die.” KAREN BURKET EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PLATTE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Platte, South Dakota FULL CIRCLE A new city park, complete with a swimming pool complex, playground and picnic shelters, is currently in the planning stages. In 2007, FHLB Des Moines recognized Platte’s efforts with its Capital Community Award. “People in small, rural communities work so hard at completing project after project that they sometimes forget to celebrate their successes,” Burket commented. “Receiving the Capital Community Award gave us the opportunity to step back and recognize that the community of Platte is doing some pretty great things.” “A few years ago, I read something that said small communities need to “grow, change or die.” Although this sounds harsh, it is so true,” said Karen Burket, executive director, Platte Development Corporation. “I believe one of the reasons Platte is doing well is that we aren’t afraid of change and want to be viable in the future.” The 1,369 residents of Platte have adopted a progressive approach to sustaining their vitality. The community has an aggressive shop local campaign, community daycare and several unique projects on Main Street. 8
