Everyone has places that are important to them. Places they care about. Places that matter. Redding still has some.
This Place Matters is a national campaign celebrating places that are meaningful to people and their community. Through This Place Matters - Redding, we encourage and inspire on-going dialogues about the importance of place and preservation in all lives.
We built our foundation on saving the 108-year-old Bell Rooms building on the corner of Shasta and California streets downtown, now owned by The McConnell Foundation and continue to move forward celebrating our past.
"Culture is not something economists and development professionals are comfortable talking about, and it is not easily measurable. And yet, culture is perhaps the most powerful lever for catalyzing change ... Individuals and even entire communities today
are suffering from a poverty of relationships, knowledge, social and legal structures that can support fairness and justice,
and perhaps most importantly, guiding visions for the future."
