The best way to avoid the “bring me a rock” game is to have clear communication about the expected outcome and operational constraints before a project is even started. Doing so reduces the number of iterations, time and cost associated with your project. It allows to to deliver positive results on (or ahead of) schedule and under budget.

You need to take a leap of faith here. There are no stats I know of that says local history equals economic development. It’s never been studied/analyzed like that. But I do know coaching and teaching. Kids need role models, they do need to connect to their past because it does create intellectual stimulation and kids listen to wisdom.
