DocuSign Envelope ID:A0B1 EB25-DA83-4024-9927-D69B64746F70 Placemaking initiatives such as Floraffiti aid in creating a sustainable visitor destination, reflecting a town actively invested in the welfare of all ages of the community and in its natural environment. It reflects back to the community at large what is important to the community. It demonstrates how it values its cultural identity by cultivating a stimulating means of strategic economic development. This four month long project has the capacity to serve a large number of people that live and work in the three towns, inclusive of UNC students faculty, and staff, and those who are passing through the three towns using services, doing business, and seeking pleasure and entertainment that the area has to offer. The community impact is further described by the volume, scope, quality, and depth of press received in 2017 and in the conversations that Carter had during the planting process with the participants intermingling with the public. Carter alone talked to over 40 people while involved in the planting process receiving questions about the project and positive feedback from every one of these people.
