Why we do what we do
Although Discover Historic Paola is focusing its efforts on this specific project, we recognize that work related to the development of quality of life and well-being in the community is a long term effort, extending in many directions.
Our conversations about other services, efforts, and interests never stop: community support toolkits; networking, messaging, social media; free assistance and consulting; community engagement; civic pride, Paola’s history; and countless other things.
We do this with the goal of seeing downtown Paola flourish, with plentiful opportunities to grow local wealth, enhance civic pride, and bring together the whole community: a Small Town with a Big Heart.
