The Boone County Community Services Department is organizing an event to update the community on the Upward Mobility Action Plan (MAP). The plan, which was released in 2022 with support from the Urban Institute, includes three workgroups: Jobs and Workforce Development, Fair and Inclusive Housing, and Early Grade Literacy. These groups aim to alleviate poverty in Boone County by focusing on interconnected aspects of upward mobility.

The event will highlight the achievements of these workgroups over the past year and discuss future steps to improve upward mobility in the community. Attendees will have a chance to learn about progress made and plans for addressing local challenges.
