Tallahassee's Knight Creative Communities Institute is marking its tenth anniversary. The upcoming year's initiative will be tackling an ambitious project to connect university students with the community.
After 10 years of creating places and initiatives that attract young professionals to Tallahassee, the Knight Creative Communities Institute is aiming to connect town and gown — the community and its universities.
Congratulations to two KCCI Waterworks team Community Catalysts, Althemese Barnes and Alissa Slade Lotane, for being appointed to the Community Historical User Group. The group will help cast vision for how to honor local history.

KCCI is proud to be a part of Tallahassee's past and future. Check out this great read about Tallahassee/Leon County, which also mentions a few of KCCI's projects.

By late 2017, Tallahassee will build on the oversized letter trend by welcoming a life-size monument of the #IHeartTally hashtag to the area of South Monroe Street — otherwise known as SoMo — located between the Capitol, FSU and FAMU.
